Llewellyn looks a bit sick, and it's only half because he's a jittery, adrenaline-filled wreck. There's something horribly [i]familiar[/i] pulling at him from the earth, and he has a sinking feeling that he knows what it is. The godly half of his parentage. His missing link. A strength that he never dared to think he might actually have. But he wasn't claimed at the campfire. Maybe- Maybe soon. He hopes so. Maybe being claimed will assuage the nauseating pull of power in his bones- or at least let him give name to it. He barely hears Tony, caught up in a million racing thoughts. He nods blankly. What is he agreeing to? Something about staying out of the way. He can do that. Gabriel looks almost startled, then his face drops into a scowl. He feels anger rising up his throat, and he snarls something in that other language. His eyes narrow to near slits, livid. [color=ffacba]"You really think I [i]care[/i]-"[/color] He cuts off, taking a ragged breath to calm himself. Focus. Stand tall but accept input. Voice low, he continues. [color=ffacba]"Don't lecture me on motive, skíthaus. I stayed by you so you could finish your portal and I could keep it away from the fucking-"[/color] he gestures vaguely- [color=ffacba]"fjandinn hafi það. Obelisk. Did you stop to think what would happen if it had [i]destroyed[/i] it?"[/color] [color=ffacba]"I am a son of Mars. I [i]know[/i] I should've been up there. But we already had a competent enough distraction, and if you were going to sit idly by, undefended, working on a portal that the survival of half the group hinges on, then I'm going to [i]prioritize[/i] you. It's called initiative for a fucking reason. I know what I'm doing."[/color] Mouth twisted into a frown, he runs a hand through his hair. He inhales and exhales, calmer. Gabriel stands tall, back straight, chin level- proud. He has every reason to be. [color=ffacba]"I'm a legionnaire of the Second Cohort. I have a handle on my powers and several years of experience under my belt. I can field questions or training, depending on demand."[/color]
