Since Gabriel is sort of vehement in his dislike of Aelia, I'd like to put him in hers just to be the wary one going GUYS, GUUUUUUUUYS, but also give him a chance to see her in her element and maybe garner a new perspective of her.

I'm also willing to have him be the martyr both because LET'S BE REAL. HE'S NO STRANGER TO THAT and also because he would probably try to curry favor with Aelia to get out of her making a request of him to get his Grace back. (WON'T WORK PROBABLY BUT HE TRIED. GOD HOW HE TRIED.)
