Blackwater Islands inner sanctum

Gabe was often a tense male. He didn't like dangerous situations, and he avoided them as best he could. But nevertheless he was always cautious and wary, on the look out for any signs of aggression or danger. Though the female didn't speak angrily, and seemed quite relaxed in herself, all he saw when he looked at her was danger. The way she wouldn't peel her gaze off of him, like a hawk preparing to dive on the unexpecting mouse. That kept him from being fully relaxed. The woman nodded, confirming that Kalika was her sister. That was definitely a surprise.

When she next spoke, she finally looked away from Gabe, which somehow eased him more so. She spoke of a home, and he remembered what Kalika had told him. That he was welcome to join her and her sisters. Now he wasn't so sure that this was the right home for him, but he still was interested. Her next comment intrigued him even more. What kind of something? He asked, standing up slightly straighter.
