Just like him, they gave no family name - or perhaps they didn't have any? Perhaps they shed it off them as they started their own journeys in life? Gabriel knew people like that, and they were certainly interesting as they were driven. He was about to say something when someone bumped into him - well, more like it felt like the person ran into him full force as they both fell down. [b][color=662d91]"Ah..."[/color][/b] Gabriel was pretty much shocked, not hurt, but simply shocked. [b][color=662d91]"Hey, are you-"[/color][/b] Gabriel looked towards the person who bumped into him whose books were all over the place. But when he looked up, the person was already scurrying away with his arms filled with the books that had fallen. [b][color=662d91]"-alright? Okay, they're gone."[/color][/b] He finished his sentence as he watched the person run away from them. The male stood up and dusted himself off. The person seemed really nervous about what had happened, though he did guess that slamming into someone would be a correct reason for embarrassment. Still, the guy didn't even say 'sorry' about it all. Perhaps that was what really irritated Gabriel, but he wasn't sure as his attention was taken by Jack as he brought up a paper. There was a town with a cross on it and the forest near it with a circle. [b][color=662d91]"Isn't the town Nadska and the forest outside is the one encircled?"[/color][/b] He asked, as if to make sure, and pointed at the symbols as he spoke. Leaning back and placed both his hands inside his pockets, he began to think. Now what did that mean? The only possible answers did spell dark things about what would happen. He began humming as he continued to think before finally sharing what was on his mind. [b][color=662d91]"There's a lot of possible answers. It might be that they're already done looting this place so that's why there's an 'X', but it might also mean that this place would be their target and they would be coming from the forest. Or maybe there's treasure here."[/color][/b] He then gave him a small shrug. [b][color=662d91]"I really don't know."[/color][/b] From a distance, it was like he could hear two roars. This did cause Gabriel to look around to attempt to search for the sources of the sound, but it yielded nothing. Considering how early into the morning it was and the dark area around him, it was understandable he wouldn't be able to see too far. The lights coming from the houses had been extinguished as well, but he wouldn't doubt someone would wake up thanks to that. Now that he thought about it, he should have already gone to sleep. Shame, that tavern was the only place he could sleep at but now he couldn't go back because the owner was dead and there was what amounted to a crime scene upstairs as well. He then turned back to the two. [b][color=662d91]"Think we should follow the guy?"[/color][/b] He gestured towards where the stranger had disappeared to. [/color]
