The light of realisation in Skulduggery's eyes was so bright as to make Gabriel beam back at him. He let Skulduggery take back his hand, and to keep the man from feeling as though he was under a spotlight the Archangel pulled his plate over to resume his own meal. Suddenly, he felt hungrier than he had been.

Quite happily Gabriel dug into his breakfast, keeping an eye on Skulduggery just in case the man had any trouble. But apparently the demonstration had helped, because Skul didn't at just one experimental bite. Gabriel grinned at him. "Better?"

It was obvious the man had been having trouble, and now he wasn't. Gabe had felt satisfaction in a job well done, and pride in a student learning well, but neither had before left that warm glow in his stomach before. They were nice feelings, in a human body.
