Gabriel Mai

Gabriel froze, then his muscles relaxed. He reached out his other arm, awkwardly hugging her back, gently as if she were made of delicate glass.

“Thank you.” His voice was soft, quiet, no more than a whispering wind of gratitude and faint joy at the gesture.

@rae
Apparently we have only one way to potentially fix this problem. Behold, the power of cuteness:

Lucille

“Hm.” Lucy stood next to Gabriel in the doorframe and watched him pause at the first step. She considered what she did with her parents in stressful emergencies. Awkwardly, she took his arm and gave him a hug.

Gabriel Mai

“I…like hearing you talk. I just can’t hear very well right now. Feel better? I…” He wanted to curl into a ball on the floor until his head stopped swirling, until his hearing returned, but he wouldn’t. “I’m not sure. Just stay close and safe.” He wanted comfort. From the Fourth, his steady presence, always there in…[Read more]

Lucille

Lucy stood holding the door open, but didn’t go inside. “Do you want me to stop talking? Isn’t there something to help you feel better?”

@whalekeeper

Gabriel Mai

Gabriel swiped back the curtains, but all he saw was ivy growing over the window. He sighed, then thought he heard Lucy talking. Turning around, he saw her by a wardrobe, steps inside it spiraling up into another part of the strange house. “Huh? Did you say something?” He resisted the urge to touch his ears again, hoping…[Read more]

@rae

Lucille

They came to a room without any extra doors. Gabriel looked for windows behind the curtains, while Lucy went to the nearest wardrobe. She found a flight of steps inside and waited for Gabriel to notice and confirm.

“Do you want me to stop talking?” she asked.

@whalekeeper

Yay!

Gabriel Mai

Gabriel could barely hear her, his hearing temporarily dulled. His gaze shifted to her once he realized she was speaking. “They’re…” His voice sounded distant, dull, as if his voice box was buried underground. “Okay. I think. I…don’t know. We should…keep going.”

@rae

I’ll do it if I feel up to it, then. :]

Lucille

“Can I help?” Lucy asked, beginning to feel concerned at this point and guilty for not knowing what to do. She clutched her new handkerchief in her pocket, ready to pull it out in case he needed it, but also twisting it nervously between her fingers. “It seems like your ears get pretty sore.”

@whalekeeper

I think basically everyone on KP would enjoy that.

Gabriel Mai

Gabriel hesitated, shoulders trembling slightly. He removed his right hand, burying his face in his elbow, fingernails digging into his shoulder, and yelled.

Eventually the voices faded back down to their whispers, Gabriel’s shoulders still trembling slightly, but he…[Read more]

@rae

I just pulled up my doc with her story scenes and I’m sorely tempted to write more. I posted one on here a while back but I hadn’t thought to do so again.

Lucille

“Just because you’re wonderin’ it, doesn’t mean it’s true.”

Lucy paused. She peered at Gabriel intently, watching him curl forwards. She wasn’t sure what to do, but she tried to…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Gabriel Mai

At the mention of other children saying such things to Lucy, Gabriel visibly bristled. “I agree, at least in your case.” Silently, his thoughts were running through what he would do to someone who ever said that to her, but Lucy didn’t need to know those thoughts. “But in my case, I wonder if they were right at…[Read more]

@rae
Aw that’s cute XD Not at all a bad thing to picture when you hear the name. A friend of mine is called Lucy although that’s not why I used the name.

Lucille

“I guess. It might be stuffy sometimes and okay sometimes,” Lucy thought out loud. Then she reconsidered his words, realizing he maybe wasn’t just answering her question. “Hm. I’m sorry…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

My CC tutor’s granddaughter is named Lucy. She looks nothing like your Lucy, but every week we get a dose of cute baby pictures because we can’t resist and neither can my tutor.

Now every time I read your rps, what pops into my mind are big, curious eyes, and extremely fluffy pink baby slippers XD.

Gabriel Mai

“It can be stuffy,”…[Read more]

The hatchet had a new cover where it hadn’t before. Lucy smiled and held it to her face to smell the rich leather.

If she was honest, sleep still sounded good. But sitting around for long felt dangerous, like playing hide and seek and staying for too long in a poor hiding spot.

Wearily, she tried not to imagine the headless man…[Read more]

@rae

I’ll let her know! :]

@whalekeeper

Gabriel Mai

Gabriel grabbed his mask, not yet putting it on, but letting it slide down until the red ribbon hung about his neck. He grabbed his bag, and Lucy’s hatchet, following her.

“Here.” He handed her the hatchet. “I’ll teach you how to use it later. If you’re going to carry something like that, you should know how to defend…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

AWWW Thank you 😊. That’s awesome! I’m glad she likes him, I might end up writing his story after I do some more with Baron.

@rae

My littlest sister wants to tell you she likes Gabriel very much

I need criticism on this sketch. Especially the hair

@mineralizedwritings @linus-smallprint
