[color=lightblue]"Onyx is his name,"[/color] the young Rivers had said after he chose to join Gabriel next to the bear. When the man's other pet, a gray-maned canine, moved over to get in on the love, the boy grinned some more and split his attention between both of the animals.

[color=E8600C]"Gabriel of House Martell,"[/color] he said to Tiras by way of introduction, speaking only loud enough to remind anyone that happened to care that he was, in fact, in the room as well. [color=E8600C]"My cousin Toran and I arrived three nights ago. This is only the second time I've been to King's Landing; my first time was several years ago."[/color]

He changed his position to sit more comfortably on his knees in order to keep petting both of the creatures. Gabriel briefly brought his hand away from Onyx to brush a few bangs out of his eyes, and then returned to gently scratching behind its ears. [color=E8600C]"How is he so well behaved?"[/color] The question he posed to Tiras was an innocent one, simply asked to initiate some polite conversation--which would be a far-cry from the rest of the fussing in the room--although he was legitimately curious; a common habit for someone with an inquisitive mind.
