Whether she means that as a joke or not, he does have to admit, it's perfectly timed. He snorts, dropping his hand before he can sit there any longer with his objectively silly code name waiting for it to be treated like something serious.
"It's- uh. Kind of a nickname." It feels almost transgressive to admit, after all the time in Freelancer, and everyone else in the Legion up until now just accepting the name at face value. Calmer though it might be, being here still feels like an extension of his last job, and his legal name isn't something that had any place there, outside of maybe the Counselor's files. "My real name's Gabriel, if that works better for you."
