They wouldn't have believed him had he simply went on his way, claiming that he hadn't been inside the lands or just hadn't heard the call. They had to know that he didn't travel out often, far to afraid to stray to far from the mansion, where the only protection for him was. That, if Corona would have even come to his aid in the instance that someone tried to attack him. Whatever the case, gathering at a meeting would be the most dangerous thing that he had faced yet. He didn't want to go, of course, but he wasn't certain if he was expected to or not. Was he really a part of them? No, not really. Just a child-like young man that an older half-sister felt sorry for. He was only there because he was to pathetic to be pushed off onto anyone else. He could barely make out any of them as he approach, slouched low and practically crawling across the ground on his hands and knees. He did his best to stay out of sight until he finally managed to come to one of the larger boulders that seemed to litter the area, where he ducked low and seemingly plastered himself against. He could see Corona clearly from there and, for a moment, he was tempted to scamper up beside her and take a place there. Deciding against it, he lifted one frail hand to the air, giving a very faint wave to his sister in the hopes of catching her eye and hers alone. At least then she could tell Gabriel that he had bothered to show up. |
