"around here? I have no clue. It's been a vhile since I've snacked on a bug," he said honestly, twin tails wagging faintly behind him. Continuing with the silly argument (if you could even call it that), he'd add, "but, all ze more reason why ze crunchy ones are better. Mother nature cannot produce such vine quality grub all villy nilly." It reassured him to know she likes the scarf anyway. Regardless, now he knows to definitely make something more matching next time. It was all a fun learning experience. He got to practice making a scarf, and practice making unique gifts to people. At the mention of the stormbead, Gabriel assumes she alludes to being a formidable fighter. He's never seen her fight before nor knows the true meaning of the necklace's existence, so he doesn't even ask her to clarify, "right! Let zem try to take vhat isn't zeirs. Zey'll regret it." he lowers in head and squints his eyes, as if the mentioned thief might spring out at any moment. And it's a a good thing he does, too. He didn't even get a chance to follow up on his question. The attack comes suddenly and without warning. Gabriel has only a few moments for his ears to pick up the rapidly rising volume of scuttling noises before it reaches an alarming volume. Part of his view is obscured by the bushes and brambles that surround the muddy river's territory, but the rest of his view is unhindered and covers the river itself. It comes in from their blind spot - a large, iridescent beetle just as tall as Gabriel at his shoulders. It charges in and, using its long, singular sharp horn, attempts to ram into the wolf and then subsequently turn its head to slam it into Dos' body. "watch out!" he shouts, simultaneously attempting to use Shield to protect Dos from its attack. Having remained standing to avoid the worst of the mud, Gabriel was given that slight bit of extra time to try and dash out of the way, hoping to end up side by side next to Dos. Regardless of the outcome, Gabriel would recuperate and put his defenses into position: Legs splayed, head lowered and ears folded, mouth agape to expose his long, saber fangs. |
