Abel does his best to hide his immediate doubt at Cain's jerk reaction. While he agrees that happened between them is no ones business, there are similar beats to their story that tie in with Jacob.
"I just want to tell him a story about devotion that doesn't end in sacrifice." Because he feels like he needs to hear it. There are far better things to do with your life than die. Abel tucks his chin on top of Cain's head, pulling him a little closer.
"Especially after all he's helped me with. And don't tell him I said that, he's a gruff asshole, and I don't want it to go to his head."
