The Sea Caves, Saturday morning

[no_archangel]

Gabriel sat perched on a rock by the cave entrance, staring out to sea. They wouldn't be able to hide here for long, he assumed, and he felt he should keep watch. This was an odd situation: he was stuck in a cave protecting a Nephilim together with a few mortals, against his own kind. Not quite something he would have considered a while ago. On the other hand, things were changing. Pyriel was a nuisance, and he had to admit that if things couldn't be like they was before, at least he preferred Karal's company to some bickering angels led by a maniac.

He glanced over his shoulder, wondering if the boy was still sleeping.
