Well, it wasn't like he could actually hide from her. Letting out a sigh, he placed the arrow back on his quiver. He was about to come clean when the witch started to speak about how they had no manners and how her 'friends' - which he supposed was them - was going to attack them with being none the wiser that she had spotted them. He opened his mouth to speak in his defense, but was suddenly picked up and pushed forward by a burst of wind. So what instead came out was - [b][color=662d91]"Whoa!"[/color][/b] He spread his arms in front of his face as he hit the ground. Quickly recovering, he stood up and then smiled at the witch. [b][color=662d91]"In our defense, we're still a bit freaked out by the whole skeleton attack thing. Pretty much on edge. Sorry about that."[/color][/b] It really wasn't Gabriel's style to suddenly attack anyway but precautionary measures were needed. Now that it was obvious that he could even shoot an arrow without it veering off course and hitting him instead because of the witch's apparent control over the wind, then there was no choice but to talk. The flute guy had gone first - his hands fluidly moving to say what his voice couldn't. Gabriel couldn't catch everything, but he could get that he was excusing their behavior. Okay, good. That's what they needed. The last thing he wanted was a wind witch going all ballistic on them. Fauve was... less respectful but nevertheless strove to quell the fires of the confrontation. Gabriel nodded along every now and then as he placed his bow on his back once more to show that he didn't mean to seem all aggressive. [b][color=662d91]"Ow, hey-"[/color][/b] He muttered as he looked at Fauve when she kicked him. When she mentioned the map, he slowly nodded and then scrambled to take it back out of his bag. Now that the map was in his hands, he slowly stepped forward to show the witch the map. [b][color=662d91]"Some guy dropped this when he was running away. No clue why though."[/color][/b] He explained to the witch - still unsure of what the witch would do. He couldn't get a read on her yet, which was surprising considering he should have already. Maybe it was because she was still in a defensive mode. [b][color=662d91]"We were just looking for answers. We don't mean any harm."[/color][/b] He wondered if the witch would get angry with him saying that considering the fact that he was the one with the drawn weapon earlier. Then again, he didn't exactly put that bow down ever since the attack. [/color]
