Tales of Surprises

   Voltaire had given Gabriel a place to hideout in, there were a few he told him of in different cities.  Gabriel had went there after Raven said he take care of Zantro. He was still wondering what the Indari did to the Tielfing or if Zantro pulled one over on Raven.  Gabriel got up and was stretching, giving a yawn when he smelled something. He reached and grabbed his sword, slowly moves out of the room and down the hall. The scent got stronger, like eggs? He was even more confused, could Voltaire be surprise visiting? Does Voltaire even eat? So many questions running in his head. 

He make it to the kitchen and saw Raven cooking. Blinking some, Raven didn't seem the type to cook. Atleast Gabriel just assume he ate raw things, he watched the Indari. "What are you doing?" he ask. Raven glances to him "Cooking, what does it look like I am doing?" 

Gabriel tilt his head "Why?" Raven got abit annoyed "Some people like food." Gabriel looked around "DID YOU BRING HIM HERE?" he shout.

Raven moved the pan from the hot iron flat and would say "Why are you shouting? And just who would I bring here?" Seeming to get plates.

Gabriel seeming paranoid "You know who.....Zantro." he hiss out.

Raven rolled his eyes "Yes cause I am going to bring that loud mouth fucker here....in the safe place. Come on give me more credit than that, I am not stupid." 

Gabriel stared at him, he would place his sword on the table, to which Raven had turn around and place the plates on the table and he grabs the sword "Weapons don't go on the table, I figure you of all people know that."

Gabriel scoff "Oh yeah dad." Raven stared at Gabriel "and you wonder why I don't like you." 

Gabriel got silent and looks to the plate "Then whose the food for?" Raven arch a brow "Us." Grabbing a book to read it as he went to bite into his eggs. Gabriel look confused "Um we are vampires." Raven shrugs "And?" Gabriel just stared still "And we drink blood, not eat....food like this."

Raven put the book down "Some of us actually do like to eat food." Gabriel sat down "Why? Its not like it does anything." he was mostly interested in Ravens answer, as he never really seen this side of him. He didn't know Raven could cook, didn't know he had thought patterns outside of fighting. "Doesn't matter if it does something, the fact is I can taste it and I know not all vampires can, but I can and I enjoy it. Its one of the few pleasures I get to enjoy." lifts his book up and reads again.

Gabriel sat back watching him, just amazed by the answer. It wasn't what he suspected, he then looks the book Raven had. It was a book about theories and myths, not something he thought Raven even be into. A book that made one think, he then stared off "OH OH..I SEE..." he state and Raven rolled his eyes. 

Gabriel stood up "That little shit did get me....he's fucking with my head...this is a dream..." Raven just watched him with a deadpan look "What?" he say monotone.

Gabriel points "You wouldn't actually read something like that or cook, I know this, cause Raven is more like a feral beast that just fights."

Raven grit his teeth a moment and nods his head "And yet still a mystery as to why I hate you." he stood up and move to Gabriel "You think this is a dream?" Gabriel nod some.

Raven then deck him right in the nose, sending Gabriel stumbling back and to the ground. Raven then grabs his book and walked off in the opposite direction saying "Is it still a dream?"  Gabriel blinks some and went to wipe at the blood coming out of his nose. Even in the body his mother made him, Raven was fast.  Gabriel growled some, but just realized, Raven actually had feelings beyond primitive.
