While he is rubbing Gabriel's back, he transmitted a memory to quiet him.... Jonas continued because it calmed Gabriel down and allowed him to sleep soundly.

He cuddled the small body close to him, and rubbed the little back. He murmured to Gabriel soothingly. Then he pressed his hands firmly and transmitted a memory of deep, contented exhaustion. Gabriel's head nodded, after a moment, and fell against Jonas's chest.
