There was no doubt that war had begun to show itself in his body. Healing cuts still marred his face, a gift courtesy of Haku Soul. Though the fur was starting to grow back, it still sickened him to think that the blue eyed devil had managed to cut him like that. By all accounts, perhaps he did look worn—sleeping as irregularly as he did, working to maintain the constant diligence that had kept the far too large clan alive. They had numbers, and they had strength, but Gabriel believed in his heart that these things would not last. More bodies did not mean more warriors. Most of the strangers who now inhabited his home were weak in body and spirit.
Most of them would die before the end of this. Even now, the doubt clung to him, and the man could not shake it from his brow. He focused on her voice, and on her water-colored eyes, and saw that she was not adverse to him entering his home. Thankful for that, the Aquila crossed the border without fear, coming to her side. “It’s good to see you too,” he responded, dimly aware of the faint mental ‘clink’ of his charms coming together. “A lot safer then having you near Inferni,” he added, eyes glinting mirthfully. While he had been glad she had come calling, it was unfair for her to be so close to the front lines when Crimson Dreams was not involved in the conflict at hand.
