He did not react to Crowley's violent movement; he hoped that Crowley had no real drive to hurt him and that by showing no resistance, they could bypass the physical side of this fight and get straight to their usual verbal argument, which he was at least more accustomed to. The Messenger was, by nature, not much of a warrior. And on top of everything else, Gabriel did not wish to carry with him the guilt of using his powers against the frustrated demon unless it became truly necessary.
"He's not here," he answered, careful to keep any emotion from his voice. "I don't know where he is."
