He had woken up not long ago, letting the medic do what they needed to before asking them to get his baby. Cat was probably busy, but he knew Mo wouldn't be, unless she was playing in the water. So now he had a sleepy Mo, who apparently was approaching nap time anyways. This was fine with him as this meant she was cuddly and he can't say no to getting some Mo cuddles.

By now the medic was telling people he was awake, after almost two days of being out. He was alive. Gav had stayed laying down mostly in case Mo fell asleep, it would be more comfortable for her. Instead, he was asking her what she had done, then had a simple conversation with the one-year-old about the ocean and why she liked it. He could tell she was going to fall asleep soon though, she sounded tired.

Then Gav disobeyed medic's orders. Mo wanted to show him something and he was damn well going to let her. He got out of bed, holding Mo with the arm that wasn't shot and walked down to the beach. He didn't have a shirt on, more than likely cause of where his wound was. He set Mo down and let her go find whatever it was she wanted to show him.

It was a shell. Or a "swew" if you asked Mo.

Well shit, wasn't that all cute and domestic. A recently shot dude having a nice time at the beach with his cute daughter; the only weird part was that Catalyst wasn't hanging around looking like a kicked puppy since their boyfriend got shot.

Well- that gave Salem a chance. A chance to do some stupid shit, and probably annoy the hell out of this poor dude, but Salem had come to terms that his general presence was a nuisance to most people around here.

"Glad to see you're up and moving." Salem commented, stopping his walk down the beach to stand awkwardly next to Gavril. "Wish I could've shot that sonovabitch myself. Kind of a cocky bastard to waltz in and shoot someone, not that I've got much ground to stand on in that area." Salem said, scratching the stubble he hadn't bothered to shave yet; maybe he'd grow a beard soon, that'd be fun.

"Catalyst would've been even more uppity than usual if you'd died so- uh glad you're alright man." Salem kicked some sand absently, disliking the words he'd chosen to say but not stopping because of it. "I know you don't like me, and I don't know you enough to like you, but you seem like a good man." Salem waved one hand airily, still acting above it all before growing more serious as he continued. "I've been shot before, not fun. The healing's gonna be a bitch, so if you need painkillers or disinfectant stuff I've... Got a supply. Need it for my hands, but I can get extra if you're real messed up."

It was an olive branch, and Salem was aware of it. He knew he'd pissed Gavril off at some point or another; probably the whole flirting with Cat thing when he was still new. Well, now that he'd seen Cat fight and knew they were spoken for he wasn't even jokingly pursuing that avenue anymore, so hopefully it'd be enough.

And what was a better time to talk about serious stuff than when they were relatively alone, before the rest of the Badlands including Catalyst's fucking parents dropped in on them like a swarm of spiders?

They'd spent the entire previous day at his bedside, leaving only when they couldn't hold for the bathroom any longer. They'd been fully prepared to do that again today, too, but business called and apparently Addy was unable to answer. So they'd gone off to take care of some things, already on their way back to Gav when the medic came up to them and told them he was awake.

That brought their speed up from a mere jog to a full on run, something they were almost never seen doing. They almost went inside, expecting him to be there, but a glance over at the beach revealed that he was there, holding Mo, Salem beside him. They didn't slow down whatsoever, running over until they were close enough to kiss him, not even caring about anything else. Sorry Salem. "I thought I'd lost you." They murmured when they broke away. "What are you doing out here?"

⇥ Catalyst is 6'2" tall; they possess a lean and muscular body, one that has a variety of old scars adorning it. One of the easiest to notice is one that stretches down their right cheek. While not a scar, one very notable marking on their chest is the "BL" brand. They have two piercings, one in their tongue and the other in the cartilage of their left ear. They typically dress in dark colors (favoring jackets with some sort of writing on the back), and their hair is black. They're not all dark, however, as they have pale blue eyes that peer out from beneath medium-sized eyebrows.

PERSONALITY  if it feels good, tastes good, it must be mine
⇥ Catalyst is ambitious, with the cunning and ruthlessness to reach their goals by any means necessary. They can be brutal when they feel it is needed, however when it's not they won't bother. They tend to be rather aloof and apathetic to most things and people, with some very rare exceptions. Provided those around them don't cross a few specific lines, they're content to leave them be, though they've been known to take an interest in some people, which seldom has a positive end for whoever their interest is in. They can be manipulative, and will often encourage people to make bad decisions. Those that stick by them will be rewarded, but those that do not will be cast out, as they've been outcast for their entire life and have learned to appreciate loyalty wherever they can find it. Even during the most stressful of situations, they usually keep a firm grip on their temper and keep their calm, though when they do snap and lose their temper, it is uncontrollable. They're remarkably observant, often able to deign much from subtle clues in what people say, how they say it and how they act.

Mo ran off again to find more things to show him, and so when Salem walked over he didn't turn to look at them, his eyes stayed on his daughter. When they spoke to him about wanting to shoot the guy that shot him, Gav chuckled [b]"You guys caught him right? I'll do it myself." He was usually very much a puppy, at least around Cat. But he too had his own...harsher side. At the comment about Cat, he nodded "I promised I wouldn't leave them and I'm not one to break promises" he muttered, recalling when Cat murdered Derick and he had promised them they wouldn't live without him. he planned to keep such a promise.

He glanced over at Salem "I'm not a good man. I just seem like one" he replied as his focus went back to Mo, who was collecting things in the sand to show him. Most likely more shells and rocks...maybe feathers too.  [i]"I've been shot before, not fun. The healing's gonna be a bitch, so if you need painkillers or disinfectant stuff I've... Got a supply. Need it for my hands, but I can get extra if you're real messed up." "I'll keep that in mind, but I think my usual drug will work just fine" he said with a small smirk. A joint or blunt would probably help him enough, though he would keep in mind about the painkillers should his choice of drug not work like he expected it to.

Then suddenly, he was kissed. Gav kissed them back after a moment, not expecting them to just come out of nowhere. When they pulled away he smiled "I told you, you're not losing me" he muttered in response before glancing over and seeing Mo running back - probably because of Cat. "What are you doing out here?" "Mo needed to show me a shell." He said like it was a very good and important reason for him to be up. It seemed like she had more shells to show, along with a feather and a piece of seaweed.

"That'd be a lot easier to believe if I wasn't going back to empty beds... Okay I saw you here before I saw you were missing, but still." And, of course, it was Mo and a shell that got him out here. They sighed and dragged a hand through their hair. "You should be resting." Maybe not sleeping, though. He'd been out for almost two days, and the fear that he wouldn't wake up had been getting harder and harder to ignore. But resting, for sure.

It was then that the normally very alert and aware leader noticed the other man standing on the beach. Oh, shit, they'd interrupted a conversation. Not something they'd intended, but they hoped it would be understandable under the circumstances. "Hey, Salem. How's it going?"
