Gabriel, less fortunately, is facing the house and thus has an excellent view.
This keeps happening to him. He finds it extremely unfair.
He jumps and, a little too late, fixes his eyes on a safely-located window ledge. His hand, coincidentally, reaches the appropriate height to clamp over Inty's eyes should she have the misfortune to turn around. With slightly forced joviality: "...Hello?"
"Hey," Shay says, mildly, as he emerges from a portal a little above Tom. He's standing upside down, fingers hooked into the loops of his jeans, watching Tom with a small grin. "Did somebody forget to tell me that it's Naked Wednesday today? Not that I'm complaining or anything, just wondering if I should start stripping."
It takes a moment for him to notice Gabe and Inty. "Heya," Broader grin. "I don't think I've seen you before."
"'Llo," Tom replies, his tone casual but the tightness in his shoulders not abated.
His caution seems justified when OMFG PORTAL! Tom blinks and steps back - then, in face of Shay's grin, he grins back, with a good deal of smarm. He was not startled, okay?
"Too pretty a day for clothes," Tom replies, still casual. He refrains from thinking of a naked Shay long enough to say, "Yeah. They're new."

She'll just keep doing that, then, and hope the strange man takes the opportunity to go put on some clothes.
