She slowly turned her thistle orbs to glance at Gabriel as she asked, "Do you want to keep her?" The tiny lady wasn't certain if she did but she would never know unless the lady was part of the clan and gave her reason to trust or hate her. She knew her train of thought was childish and there was no point in even asking Gabriel what he was going to do but she had still.
