Gabriel #16
Getting ready to test her armour with his spear hand, Gabriel felt a real relief when Seere announced her surrender, calming down his heart rate back to more natural speed.
“Very well, I accept your surrender.”
Said Gabriel, his face once again taking the gentle smile he had when he arrived. His companion said nothing, only nodded in acknowledgement and slowly headed back to the place of their battle.
“Guess I owe you an apology now, am I right?”
A sudden melancholic tone appeared in The Professor´s voice as he sat down on Seere´s armoured shoulder completely oblivious to the fact it could be seen as a highly inappropriate.
“I am usually not this trigger happy you know, it´s just…it was quite rough couple of months. One of my puppies got badly hurt because I wasn´t there for a fight I was supposed to protect her from. Than Danielle left to win the heart of the woman she loves. Woman who mistook her for a man. And I know it will break her heart when she´ll find out the truth but can do nothing abut it because if I tried to step in I could lose her forever.”
Gabriel sighed.
“Isn´t it ironic? I acquired all this strength yet the more power I have, the more helpless I feel.”
He paused for a moment, patting the side of her helmet, almost as if this gesture usually reserved for well behaved dogs offered him some kind of comfort.
“Anyway, what I am trying to say is, that when I heard about your exploits here I couldn´t simply sit and watch. I mean, it´s does not like I wouldn´t believe in Sarah´s abilities or anything. That girl is one of my best students, it´s just…”
Another sigh escaped his throat as he realised that perhaps he shouldn´t unload all of his personal problems on a complete stranger, especially not when he threatened with violence just a few moments ago.
