Not a chance, Daine snarls, bracing herself. If she can just avoid his teeth... her train of thought is interrupted, though, by the sudden appearance of another Gabriel standing right behind Yuri. Daine drops to all fours with a startled huff, glancing back to confirm that Gabriel's still standing beside her, as well. It must be an illusion, like one of Numair's simu-things.

Does this mean the one beside her is an illusion, too? Keeping an eye on Yuri, Daine gives the Gabriel closest to her a gentle, exploratory pat with her paw. He sure feels real. Odd's bobs, this is strange. But at least this means she doesn't need to be so frantic over his safety - just her own. She returns her focus to Yuri to see how he's reacting to the other Gabriel.
