With Snake’s confirmation, Gabriel nodded shortly, but his focus turned out to the southern borders. They were high enough up that Dahlia de Mai could be seen in the distance, but their thick woods hid most of what was visible from view. They would never be able to see the wolves coming, even if they sat up here from this day on. Haku would strike, and he would strike in whichever way would make him more likely to win. Gabriel knew Haku soul more then he liked to admit, and knew how his war would come.
Dropping his gaze back to the coyote, Gabriel saw what he was focusing on and felt the same doubt rise in his chest. “Let’s see if there’s an easier way down,” he offered, moving towards the area that branched off towards their old territory. Though Gabriel did not intend to use this path, especially given his personal dealing with the fire over the mountain, if it came down to it they would need an easy escape route. Though the one straight back was rather sharp, and precarious, as he walked around the bordering mountainsides he spotted something that seemed to slope towards Drifter Bay. Approaching it, Gabriel began to slowly try and make his way down this route, which was not as vertical as the previous climb and allowed for him to move with ease further west, all the while moving down through the cut formed next to their newfound plateau lookout point.
