Sade had learned how to pick plenty of ripe oranges, thanks to Gabriel. She could live off of these for the rest of her days if that was what she was doomed to. She didn't mind, these things were full of juicy-goodness.
However, when she wasn't looking, an older and bigger member of the Badlands had come around and swiped a handful of oranges from Sade's little pile. She turned around, brows furrowing, and dirty hands outstretching as if to grab them back. "Hey! Those are mine." She exclaimed. She had worked hard at harvesting those, and if people kept on taking stuff from her, then she would surely starve to death. The man had responded with a sneer, "Too bad, worm." Geez, these Badlanders were buttfaces.
And then, coming to her rescue was none other than Gabe ( the only person in the whole group who actually cared enough to check up on her every day ). Standing his ground, holding his head high, he glared at the older person and demanded, "Give those back, now." Nobody was to mess with Sade unless she committed a crime against the Badlands as a whole. Otherwise, worm or not, it was not fair at all to steal from her when she put in the work. In response to Gabriel, the man snorted, "Or what, kid? You gonna tattle on me?"
Within seconds, Gabriel had stormed forward and knocked the fruits from his hands. "What the-" The Officer gave him a harsh shove backwards, hands balled into fists and blue eyes glistening like icicles up at him. "Get out of here or else I'll make sure you get punished." He firmly ordered, and the man complied ( albeit bitterly ).
Gabe watched as he stormed off, and Sade could only watch with astonishment. "Gee... thanks..." She breathed, crawling forward to gather the oranges from the ground. She went into a brief coughing fit and managed, "I didn't think you had that in you." Gabe pursed his lips, glancing down before trailing his gaze over to the Worm. "Yeah. Apparently I do." He said, albeit quietly. Something about that didn't feel great but... at the same time, he felt empowered.
Noticing her sniffling again, he asked, "Are you okay?" She appeared to be hacking and coughing a lot as of late. Sade sighed, and answered, "Y.. Yeah. Just a cold, I think." A seasonal cold was not uncommon, and to that he would suggest, "Well, keep on eating those oranges. They'll help." With that, he was off. He didn't want to stick around, not after what had just happened between him and the Grunt.
