Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gabriel Courtier took refuge on the brance of a tree as the gentle rain fell to the ground below. With one leg hanging down and another bent up on the branch, he closed his eyes for a moment, taking in the serene sound of the splattering liquid. However his moment listening to the steady beat of rain was disturbed by the splashing of a human.

With a slight rustle of clothing, his arm rose, bringing a lit cigarette to his mouth. It glowed crimson as he inhaled the sweet toxin, raising a brow at the unique being before him. Bringing his arm back down to the resting position upon his bent leg, Gabriel watched in amusement as the uniquely-dressed human danced, entranced by the falling 'crystals'. He chuckled slightly. How strange this mortal was.

Gabriel's face widened with a toothy grin. Had she heard him laughing? Or was she really talking to her invisible friend? Perhaps he should reveal himself, if she didnt already know where he was. He thought for a moment. 'This is foolish. Do I really have time for this?' he asked himself. Playing with some crazy girl, what was he thinking? 'What am I thinking...? I have all the time in the world.' With another small chuckle, he gracefully jumped out of the tree, to stand up straight with one hand in his pocket and the other bent upward so he could take another puff from his cig.

Without the leaves of the tree to conceal him, Gabriel's features could be seen more clearly. Wearing black dress pants and a 'snazzy' vest over a white dress shirt, it looked as if he had just returned from a ball. His coat was draped over the arm with the hand in the pocket, and his black shoes shone with rain water. With a slight toss of his head, the few dark hairs that covered his piercing blue eyes flew backward to become one with the other ear-length hairs upon his head. 'Now that you see me human, what will you do?'

With a smokey exhale, Gabriel dropped his cigarette before smothering it with his shoe. 'Hello,' he casually answered in return. He tried with his might not to smile, as this creature before him was so comical, but there was little he could do to stifle another laugh as he looked her up and down. 'Poor girl,' he thought. 'How does she live like this?'

"A friend of Edgar's?" Gabriel repeated her. "Why sure, I guess you ca...." his voice soon trailed off as her attention was clearly not focused on him. Raising an eyebrow again, he sighed. 'Perhaps I should just take her down and be done with it.' Looking at her, he searched for any signs of a sense of reality. Eyes wandering like hers, his view soon landed on her neck. No one would miss her if he were to suck her dry, right? His teeth lengthened and his eyes sharpened like a cat's.

At the girls innocent smile, Gabriel softened. He couldn't take such a childish life away. "R-right, the cat," he answered her with a slight grumble. 'I wasnt that hungry anyway,' he told himself. Now what was he to do? Combing back his hair with his fingers, Gabriel breathed deeply before placing both hands in his pockets. 'Perhaps I should just go home.' Turning, he slowly started to walk away.

Gabriel continued to walk, though it was apparent the strange young woman was following him. "I am sorry, I haven't seen your Edgar." He sighed and wondered if this was something that would continue through the night. "Why do you suppose he left you?" he asked, trying to amuse himself with conversation.

Gabriel stopped for a second when the girl appeared before him before continuing as she walked backwards. Again he looked at her strange clothing, noticing her missing legging. Ingnoring her question, he asked, "Girl, are you not cold in this rain?" The rain still beat upon them, and his outer clothing was already soaked. The human, however, was drenched. "Here," he said as he offered her his coat. "You'll catch a cold if you dont keep warm." It mattered not if he was to get wet.
