There were other things Gabriel could mention. The way it could let you be close to another soul other than your host's, assuming your host's soul was still present. There was something about sex which enabled souls to touch in a way Gabriel hadn't even known was possible until he'd tried it himself, and then he'd been so startled and unnerved that he hadn't tried it again for a century.
Not always, of course. Sometimes it was just purely physical, and that wasn't really conducive to a proper connection. But sometimes ...
And there was the way it could make you feel alive. It was sort of like how training did it for some of the warriors, the physical exercise, except this was more intense. It went back to that connection, but didn't rely on it.
But talking about these things was treading far too close to admitting things Gabriel had felt, things he was still too used to denying to admit he felt, and would have made things way too serious. So he didn't.
"You should," Gabriel just told the other angel amiably. "You should and I'll mock you until you do, so if you want me to stop, you should really fix that. Just consider it a matter of expanding your horizons!" The last line declaration was accompanied by a wave of his hand (the one with the bourbon in it, which still managed not to spill).
