The male didn't seem particularly alarmed at the girls' approach, and China was somewhat relieved to note that he bore no ill expression in their direction, rather a gentle smile and reassuring tail-wag. Although not as absolutely trusting as her sister, the silvery girl was instantly relieved of any remnants of such a reception by this greeting. When the hybrid answered their question, however, a look of blank but pleased surprise comically flitted onto the girl's blushing features.
China's cerulean eyes slid to meet hat of her sister, and while Sage giggled softly, Razekiel's third daughter offered the Inferni Warrior-King a warm smile. So this was Gabriel, son of Kaena - Their uncle, though the bloodline was thinner there. When Sage offered their sincere humility for not having recognised his status, China nodded mutely, her gaze still curiously travelling over the male. She realised that she was looking for familiar traits in him; she was looking for any similarities he bore to Razekiel.
The thought of her father seemed to have passed through her and Gabriel at the same time, for he then spoke of the male, and the Lykoi princess' large ears flitted forward excitably. At the same time, however, China took a step closer to Sage, her arm gently brushing against the dark-haired girl's. The contact offered her comfort as Sage asked the question they were both desperate to receive a positive answer to. It had been so long since either daughter had seen their father - At least now they would be amongst other family, here on the land of their grandmother and their uncle.
Devious Lapis Lazuli watched Gabriel closely for a response. She was delighted to be in his company, the company of another relative - But oh, he looked so stern, even now when greeting his kin! And she would have to mention those skulls at the border. Sage and herself had decorated the horrible things in flowers as best they could. Maybe they could do the same to the Aquila.
