also this is an awful reply im so sorry
Gabe hadn't been the one to shout. If he knew who had, he would have immediately throttled them, and later, found some other way of reinforcing how idiotic that had been. The sight had been alarming as much as it was enthralling; it was the latter because it wasn't every day a child managed to walk on water, demonstrating an enviable control over an ability; and it was the former for the same damn reasons.
When Gabe had first noticed Myliu, he had been attempting to wear himself out, his hybridization resulting in a complete schedule fuckery that gave no consistency to his sleep, so despite catching no more than three hours during the day, he was awake. Wide-awake, despite the pull of exhaustion, and he had hoped that a brisk patrol through the territory might be enough to drain his nonexistent energy reserves, at least enough for Gabe to curl up somewhere and catch some shut-eye. However, as soon as he arrived at the lake, what drowsiness he began to experience scattered, chased away by the sight of Myliu's small body stepping out onto the water.
Then the shout, and as Myliu plunged into the water, the damned thing beating so hurriedly in his chest fell into his gut. Gabe shot forward, taking into the sky to faster reach where the child went under, and though he'd never swam in this body before, he wouldn't allow that to stop him. He dove, wings folded back, talons oustretched. When he broke the surface of the water, he pushed past the shock, closing his claws around the child and kicking upward as best he could, considering his wings were little more than dead weight. When his head escaped the lake, desperately keeping Myliu above, he gasped, forcing calm to settle despite the fact they were still far from the shore, and Gabe wasn't so certain he could manage with them both. He couldn't carry Myliu with his beak, although he was lighter than he would have been with the mask. All things considered, however, the kid's appearance wasn't at the top of his list
"¿Qué estabas pensando, eh? Where's a dog to retrieve when you need one?" The last part he muttered, taking a bit of water in, which was uncomfortable to say the least. Gabe began to swim them both toward the bank, although it would be much easier if he had a body better suited to the water, as his wings dragged and his talons were occupied with keeping Myliu afloat. If he went out via drowning, Laz had every right to kick his ass.
