Gerard always got a little nervous when Cal and Niko went out for that kind of work. He knew logically that they could handle themselves, but he was the sort that worried. Especially when it was dangerous enough to not want Gerry to risk getting underfoot.

They had just left, and told him to hold his concern unless they were not back by morning. There was no way he'd be sleeping. Getting out his art supplies and tying his blonde hair back he thought to do some detail work on his bedroom walls when he got that strange feeling he always did when Cal opened a portal.

"... Back already?" He wondered aloud - the Auphe didn't come inside, they held to that deal. So it was mostly with curiosity and concern Gerard went to the stairs to see why Cal had seemingly come back. He didn't bother with shoes.

It was good, Gerard just rarely had anything that passed for an apatite. "Most of the time it's ... uh, locked up. Kind of? So I only really get use of it when I'm at the bar or if I force it. Which so far regularly triggers a migraine after."

"That's because brains are just not well-designed." He replied with a soft snort, tapping the side of his nose with a finger a moment later, adding: "Like nosebleeds from opening a Gate. You know, one of those things that I should be able to do no problem because of physiology or whatever."

A semi-circular gesture with his fork followed, digging back into what was left of his pancakes, "Now I only get them when I've opened a bunch in a row or something." Most days he considered it the same as musicians building calluses, and not like professional sports-ball players getting repeated brain damage.
