Arkham took several steps back and watched silently. Once again, as the attention was shifted from himself to someone else, the urge to simply run off and leave the scene behind became very strong. There was no real reason to stay anyway -- Andre would be put back in his place whether he liked it or not and Gabriel would spare whatever words he chose. The grey pup probably respected his half-brother more than anyone else in the clan and trusted him to teach Andre the lesson that he wasn't able to yet himself. And the boy felt nothing towards his littermate taking a beating; as much as he wanted to work towards countering the other's darker tendancies and personality, they did indeed share the same blood and the lack of pity or remorse in Arkham's red eyes could be taken as a sign of that.
As Gabriel knocked his one brother back, the other turned and started away. It was not running, exactly. But with his adrenaline levels flattening, the gash on his shoulder was starting to sting more and while part of him wanted to watch Andre get a thorough thrashing, most of him just wanted to crawl into a comfortable hole to rest for a while. There was too much drama here and he had never been a fan. And so he left.
