[attr="class","char-words"]Something deep pulsates in his chest — a weight that he could only describe as an anchor, urging him to root his feet into place.
[break][break]
"Vaguely." He says in reply, eyes narrowing as he peers into the deeper waters beyond. Each second creates another pulse, another unrelenting urge to look away.
[break][break]
Uncharacteristically, he does.

"The only material worth investigating are the creatures themselves. Everything else isn't worth the money to transport."

[attr="class","char-words"]Gabriel's presence if often considered intimidating— his size alone was enough to stand out, if one didn't even account for his domineering personality. So, 's fear is not all together unexpected, nor the immediate reaction she'd taken to secure a Pokemon. It was a credit to her that she had.
[break][break]
Not recognizing the woman, he gives her but a fraction of his attention before he continues walking off.

[attr="class","char-words"]S.A.M. his Rotom alerted him to the message. A flicker of an indiscernible emotion passed along the sharp lines and edges of his face, but it was soon buried beneath an iron-clad will. In mere moments the giant of a man had not only located his half-sister, but was actively making his way down the hall to her.
[break][break]
Two lions flank the man as he makes his way down the hall. Their tails flick lazily while the eyes of a predator carry to every inch. Inevitably they land on as they sense the rich blood of Clan Black, turning their attention elsewhere in disinterest moments later.
[break][break]
They shared the same air of dismissal as their master.
[break][break]
"Kyrenai," Gabriel says, his voice devoid of inflection. "The last time you bothered my staff I was court-ordered to pay for their psychiatric fees." His eyebrow raises. "Why are you here?"

[attr="class","char-words"]When finally emerges, fingers clutching one of the ultra beast's brood, Gabriel turns his attention to the rest of the group. He falls naturally into the role of a leader.
[break][break]
"We're turning around. This expedition was—" even if some of their number had gotten a hold of one of these creatures, it didn't much change the outcome. "—a failure. I may not be a Councilman any longer, but I recommend a critique be held to.. evaluate this poor performance."
[break][break]
Of course, that was entirely up to them. He held no power here. Not any longer.
[break][break]
" - keep Dr. Reyes alive. See what you can do about the wounds of your friend here, too." He says, nuding his head towards , before turning to . "I trust you'll return with us? This death and commotion will have pulled more of these creatures."
[break][break]
Finally, he faces the direction of the portal, his path lit by the waving purple flames of his typhlosion.
[break][break]
"Keep up."

[attr="class","char-words"]their conversation is side-tracked due to the ineptitude of those in his charge, but he files away the question for later.
[break][break]
"it does seem the way, doesn't it?" annoyance leaks into his voice as he turns, the flame of passion replaced by the cold void of anger.
[break][break]
approaching the three flailing members of the team he inspects their state, noting the poison that begins to root itself. his hand reaches for a pokeball, but gabriel pauses as his eyes take in the new addition to his flesh. charcoal black barnacles have risen from his skin and slowly wrap themselves around the man's massive wrists. the entire thing was painless, which was even more odd; nevertheless, he continues with his previous action.
[break][break]
pokeball in hand he speaks.
[break][break]
"my team is not suited for healing, but, i believe we still have enough time if we remove the effected limbs."
[break][break]
it would only be the most painful experience they'd ever gone through.
[break][break]
so, easy.

he focuses on her question.

"enough." his answers vague enough to not speak to the level of detail, but gives just enough to have an inkling of the true nature. "i did not know your husband personally, but i'm told he was a.. ruthless business man."

solitude did not befit the titan.
[break][break]
slateport wore the dusk of night like a cloak, and from atop his ivory tower, gabriel surveys it all.
[break][break]
in this moment he felt like an emperor overseeing his kingdom; indeed, with so much of the city laid before him, he'd be remiss to thing anything but.
[break][break]
yet, with that profound sense of nobility comes something else — a shadow that threatens to smother out the fire that raged within'. it lurks in the dark recesses of his mind; a dark passenger, ever-present since the day he'd woken up in the hospital.
[break][break]
it slowly worsened as he began collecting the pieces of his project, but the voice was never more loud than when he was alone. and here, in the false-throne of his office, it screamed into the void.
[break][break]
a cracking sound pulls his attention downwards. the desk was something imported from kalos, far too expensive to be considered a practical expense. a fissure ran across its surface, extending deeper into its foundation until eventually tapering off. tracing the blemish to its epicenter, gabriel found the matte black of his artificial limb and the four fingers that were buried to the second knuckle.
[break][break]
with some difficulty, he pulls the digits free, inspecting them like a cat would its dangling prey. his eyes narrow into dangerous slits, and the flame of anger flares outwards in a roar of fury.
[break][break]
his fist crashes into the wood of the desk.
[break][break]
gabriel scarcely remembers a time where he'd been afforded a moment to release the full strength of this massive form, and he doesn't let this moment go to waste.
[break][break]
each subsequent strike sends wood chips scattering in all directions. his lamp is torn from its spot, tossed to the ground in a clatter of broken glass and flickering lights. papers deemed by others as important flit and tumble into the crevices brought on by this destruction, and not even his computer is safe from the assault.
[break][break]
after a few minutes the fight leaves him, and gabriel settles back into his chair, chest heaving and arms shaking. it takes nearly twice as long for the behemoth of a man to settle his nerves, but eventually, the only evidence left of his anger is the ruined remains before him.
[break][break]
his thoughts numbly trace back to now empty seat of councilman, and the sacrifices he'd forfeited to get there. his passion for something greater had consumed even that, and now the fruits of his labor were in motion. it would be quite some time before his dream would come into fruition, and not for the first time, he questioned if it would even work.
[break][break]
gabriel immediately recognized the doubt as coming from his dark passenger. he exhales heavily, letting the sound carry in the deathly silent office.
[break][break]
doubt did not become the shipping mogul.
[break][break]
gabriel pushes himself to his feet, walking through the rubble like a warlord would his conquered and battered territory. he moves to the small bar, pouring himself a chilled glass of scotch before moving to stand in-front of the large window that overlooked slateport proper.
[break][break]
no, self-doubt was not him. he stood above all others; domineering, and dominating. this city was his. every inch of this steel jungle was his kingdom, and he would fight to ensure that. gabriel's lips formed a wolf's smile, satisfied.
[break][break]
so caught up in his own ego, gabriel missed entirely the haunted, maniacal laughter of the shadow in his mind.

[attr="class","char-words"]"it's not often the pound of flesh comes so literally," he muses with a cat — a lion's — smile. nevertheless, he shakes the thought away.
[break][break]
"perhaps should the time ever come that you must sacrifice a piece of yourself to your cause, that it's a fraction of the pain that mine was."
[break][break]
those familiar with the councilman would recognize that he did not shy from adversity, and be default pain; however, even the titanic man before her had his limits.

"family is what you make of it. but, i do not need to tell you that, do i elisabeth?" a small smile, one of his precious few that's.. gentle.
