Gabriel was as giddy and as determined as could be, like a Boy Scout on his way to earning a new badge. Except he managed to keep most of his excitement contained, as he didn't want Cat changing their mind. This could be his chance to prove himself worthy, to prove himself a tough Badlander that could brave through harsh winds and cold snow.
He had worn the thickest jacket he could find and had slipped on his mountain boots. He had even packed some food, water, a box of matches, and a switchblade of course. There was no telling whether they would get lost or not, but hopefully not. Gabriel was fully relying on Catalyst to lead the way, seeing as he had never been to "Flintlock Lodge". He had heard plenty about it, though, as they were free range for the Badlanders to pick off of. As far as he knew, however, this was simply just a mission to gauge the area as quickly and undetected as they possibly could.
That plan would not last very long.
Gabriel had kept close to Catalyst, in a way mimicking the actions of Michael. He was their bodyguard as far as he was concerned, and he had to keep on his toes and be on the lookout for any signs of danger. Naturally, when one saw some other person threatening them with a staff, it was usually a cause for alarm. This boy wasn't too much of a threat, true, but who knows what could be done with that stick? No, he needed to step in. He needed to man-up. He needed to defend.
The teenager tensed up as well upon being questioned, his hand quickly fishing his switchblade from his pocket. He did not unsheathe it, only holding it in his grip as a form of warning. "W[sup]HO[/sup] areâ€â€" He stopped suddenly, wrinkling up his features as to cringe at his sudden voice crack. Dammit, now was not the time to do that. Not when he was being tough. "Ahem," Gabriel quickly cleared his throat before continuing on, brows flattening against blue hues. "Who are you?" His voice considerably lowered in pitch in attempt to brush off his little "mishap". Of course this was a local, anybody could guess that easily. However, Gabriel still felt the need to challenge the other in some way.
