We can with another post or two if you want. Smile

If it had been anyone but Gabriel, the boy’s trance-like speech would have been laughed at. Most of the coyotes within the clan were realists. Madness, while accepted, was also chided. The boy would have been told to stop pretending, to quit trying to make himself look important. He might have been snapped at. Most of Inferni had no patience for magic or the supernatural.

Gabriel was not most of Inferni.

He was a man who believed in the Word. He was a man who heard The Voice, who had been chosen by the Lord Almighty to be his scourge and his sword. The Aquila had been saved by God time and time again, as had his family. Haku could have killed Kaena the night he raped her. Andre might have delivered his daughter’s broken body onto Inferni. Ezekiel might have perished out in the wilderness, or the night that the demon had scarred his face and broken his ribs. His house had been made to suffer, but this only further solidified his faith. Gabriel knew that the world was far greater than the simple little lives they led.

So he listened and remembered. Yet as the boy came out of his trance, Gabriel said nothing of the sort. He flicked one ear and looked to the boy as if nothing had changed. “Try finding people to start training you. Our ranks are based on skills, so once you find something you’re good at we’ll focus on it,” he explained, rising to his feet.
