Practice Makes Perfect (OP RP)

The vampire smiled at Nomen, listening to his exclaims before he shook the others hand with no remorse in his face, at least not visible.
After all the man had years of experience to control his facial reactions and besides that it was rather rude to pull a face at someone who obviously couldn't do anything against the state of his body. Gabriel was careful with the sharp tips on the other hand. There was no reason to hurt himself.
But before he could spent more focus on the cultist in front of him the vampire was disrupted by loud music.
It was the music box from before and now he also finally was told a name and an origin.
"I take that is the reason why you two have issues then." he told Jeu, concentrating on her and Dante now. The spark in the air just increased, making Gabriel's instincts act up on the inside. He wanted to get out his fangs and claws to show that he was not to be threatened, but he kept himself together. "Did you obtain it in one of your wager games?"
The vampire still had a clear memory of the ball and he still remembered her telling him about the games she played back then. He concluded that he must have lost it then and someone who wagered such an important item in the first place was someone Gabriel would rather not approve of.

In a swift, but calm motion, Nomen dislocated his fingers so they bent downward completely. Still attached to his hand, but dangled like wind chimes. Thankfully the smokey fog surrounding the reaper still covered 3/4 of his hand; the soft thin wispy material always served him well in preventing accidental contact. He hoped Gabriel wouldn't take offense to his precaution. Nomen did sense a friend in Gabriel; he hoped it would end that way.

After their introduction Nomen went quiet as the conversation continued. The ends of Nomen's cloak gave small waves in the air; even without wind or physical movement they seemed to move. His focus wasn't entirely determined, but he followed the conversation pretty easily.

Jeu was challenged.
Enfer, her opponent.
Enfer lost.
Jeu took her prize.
The prize really belonged to Dante before Jeu won.

The tension was heavy, he could feel, you didn't need a rocket scientist. His attitude was a little bland though. Yes he was still a little bitter about the birds; he rather wished he could have just crushed the cigarette right here and now. But not wanting to start anything TOO drastic as a reaper's hand coming at your face.
He stayed quiet though for a good few minutes. Trying to now understand the subtext and details to the whole "soul containing" item.

"It is not that uncommon for people to want to reserve souls and spirits in items of value. I myself have something similar..." he paused before looking at Jeu.
"If it is going to cause conflict, I could take ownership and see she find a better place than her current home."

He knew little of the fine details to Jeu's rules and Dante's full irritation for Jeu owning what was his. But maybe he thought it would ease some tension. Offering couldn't hurt right?

The gentleman did not mind what Nomen did before shaking hands. After all it could be something he did out of a very good reason and Gabriel was the last one to ask any rude question that may collide with the condition Nomen found himself in.
The vampire was mildly put rather confused about this whole dispute and thought that the best way to avoid conflict himself was, agreeing with Nomen's side.

Gabriel knew far too less about both sides of the situation after all to judge it rightfully but what he had hurt, made him rather agree with Jeu, at least for the moment.
Due to the fact that the watch had been stolen though, made him a bit vary and he could understand Dante's point of wanting it back. After all it had his sister inside.
The soothing voice of the vampire, was heard right after Jeu's statement, stopping anyone to interfere until he had sad what he wanted to say. His eyes darted especially to Dante, who seemed to be rather restless, due to his fast pacing tail.
"Now we don't need to let this escalate, as it is for now there seems no way to handle this issue without upsetting one party. Maybe you should talk about this issue if the other one, Enfer is also there. After all they have been the one giving to watch to Jeu after all." The vampire would really like to avoid any further violence and he was sure that Nomen wouldn't be happy with it either.
