Gabriel Mai — The Protector

“Lucy!” His heart pounded in panic, a hammer inside his ribcage. He was helpless to rescue her, his blades weren’t for throwing even if he tried. He had no projectile weapons. He looked around frantically, and his eyes alighted on pieces of broken stone on the ground. He dropped down, hoping the bird w…[Read more]

Gabriel climbed up the wall himself, but instead of looking to the southeast, his attention was raptured by something more south. “Flying creatures. Those won’t be fun to fight.” After watching them for a few seconds, he finally looked for the hill, barely making it out through the silver mist. “I see t…[Read more]

He wasn’t sure what to do, so he stayed where he was and listened to the wind. He caught strange scents in the invisible wisps, most he had never smelled before, a few he vaguely recognized, but couldn’t decide how. His gaze wandered to the trees, then he turned to Lucy, whispering softly in case she w…[Read more]

Gabriel blinked. He had no idea what that was supposed to mean. When she hid her face, his eyes softened with concern, mask still around his neck. “Are you okay? Did I ask something wrong? Are you tired?”

@whalekeeper

Np!

That’s cool. Do you think it does that because your circulation changes?

No idea. My big brother has a birthmark that looks almost exactly the same on his neck, and it does similar weird things where it gets darker and lighter. Not sure if its for the same reason mine does, I’ll have to ask.

He looked back at her. “Really? I wish my people knew that.” He sighed, eyes dropping to the ground. After a few minutes, he looked up again. “Those weird fruits are surprisingly not bad. And the flowers, can you smell them? They’re so gentle.”

Fun fact, I have a birthmark on my right hand that u…[Read more]

“Uh…” Gabriel broke eye contact. “My country believes they’re demon marks.”

Gabriel chuckled. “That’s good to know. I still think you’re illogical and quite a little flame when you want to be, but you don’t throw stones at me because of my birthmarks, and you’re more interesting than most people.” His two longer pieces of hair in the front blew into his face, and the flowers L…[Read more]

Gabriel held out his hands, palms up. He had the hands of a worker, a little dirty, a few scars on the palms.

Sorry for the short rp. By the way, in his world, Gabriel is a peasant who works on a farm for someone and runs errands occasionally.

He looked at her, raising a red eyebrow. “Old? I guess so, comparatively. When my parents—” He stopped, then shook his head. “Doesn’t matter. What would make you less afraid?”

@whalekeeper

I sign on, and you posted literally seconds before, lol

Gabriel sighed. “Well I guess you’re still alive…and seemably happy.” He removed his mask, not worried about her seeing his face again. This time, there was no screeching, the voices were completely silent. He picked up a fruit and tasted it, his face expressing soft confusion. He sat, legs crossed, o…[Read more]

Gabriel sighed with relief. “Very well, though…doesn’t matter, you’re safe.” He adjusted his mask, then looked at the fruits. “Tell me you didn’t eat any of those.”

@whalekeeper

Oh my goodness I love Lucy so much

@whalekeeper

The weird part of rping where you’re not sure if you wake up your sleeping character now, or skip ahead.

I’m gonna skip ahead an undescriptive amount of time.

The Protector — Gabriel Mai

Gabriel stirred, blinking a few times, sitting up and stretching like a cat. As he glanced around, he saw the fruit and flowers, resting beside h…[Read more]

Yes, cranberry sauce is my favorite, but ONLY a certain recipe. The store-bought stuff grosses me out. So yes, it’s my favorite, but only when I myself make it…which sounds wrong lol.

The Protector — Gabriel Mai

At Lucy’s gesture for him to come sit, an emotion that Gabriel couldn’t describe flooded his chest. He wasn’t sure what it was, but it compelled him to keep her safe, not from duty, but for the sake of doing so. He, as well, slipped off his boots, stepping silently on the stone, sinking into the s…[Read more]

Gabriel led her away, turning a corner. Exhaustion was settling in, causing him to stumble, catching himself before he fell. “Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention.” He released her hand. “It’s out of sight now. Shall we continue searching, or do you need a minute?”

@whalekeeper

Oh no.

I use a Notes app on my laptop that automatically saves stuff.

The Protector — Gabriel Mai

Gabriel placed a hand on her shoulder, gently, almost timidly, shifting his body to block her view of the beast. “Let’s get away from this thing, I don’t think it’s good for you to be staring at the carcass.”

@whalekeeper

That makes sense….

The Protector — Gabriel Mai

“No!” Gabriel shouted as Lucy attracted the beasts attention. As it stood still, he attempted to get at its neck, but its tail lashed out, pinning his body against the wall. He coughed, breath knocked out of him. His back, pressed against the wall, spread with pain, his vision b…[Read more]
