[GABRIEL]

[align=center][div style="width: 500px; text-align: justify; font-size: 9.4pt; line-height: 1.4;"]Gabe could remember much of his mother. Thankfully, none of those memories included her death, and the thought did not sit well with him; it had been years since he last saw her, and many things could happen in that amount of time. He knew her through the eyes of a child who took on too much responsibility at a young age, knew her as a source of warmth to curl into after a long day, knew her as a raspy voice crooning out lullabies in the light streaming through the cracks of their walls; and he knew her as the expert roll of his name off her tongue, soft vowels and tumbling R. As much as he wanted to, the odds of Gabe seeking her out were...low. Just as he remembered her solely through a child's memories, she knew him only as that bright-eyed boy, not the washed out fuck-up he was now. He would rather she kept that image of him over the person he was today. Gabe couldn't imagine embracing her and deserving it, and the same went for his many sisters. They were better off without him to stain their lives.

So he remained here, to take up space in these people's lives instead. The last two days were spent planning, writing out thoughts in the dirt and swiping them away when he grew dissatisfied. When he'd finally come up with something better than his first idea, then he would take it to the people in charge; until then, he wandered around as he usually did, checking the border, hunting food, bringing some of it to Laz when it was large enough. He was off to find himself a mouse when he scented a fresh kill; pursuing it led the hybrid to someone...strange, yet familiar, and it was only when Margaery addressed the panther that he realized it was Versailles. "Damn, did you just leave to star on an extreme makeover? I need one of those." He'd leave the concern to Margaery, who was much better at showing than Gabriel was.
