thinkin' you could live without me - abandoned child

[align=center][div style="width: 500px; text-align: justify; font-size: 9.4pt; line-height: 1.4;"]So many kids at their border. If he could call the...deer...thing a child, but he was going to, because the poor thing was looking for their mother, and here they had another boy wandering in search of a parent. By the state of his body, he was either neglected purposely or the mother couldn't take great care of him. It was a bit telling that, by the sounds of it, he'd been waiting for her to come back. Plenty of things could have happened to her, depending on how far she went. As somewhat safe -somewhat- The Ascendants' territory was, the same couldn't exactly be said for over the border, and this was a scenario Gabe was familiar with. It'd happened a few times, back when he'd worked with an organization meant to clean up messes, kids abandoned in their homes, waiting for their parents to return like they'd promised. In reality, Gabriel usually ended up finding their bodies nearby. Unfortunately common.

Gabriel exhaled, headache ever-present as always, but the kid was the priority here. As soon as he thought he was going to pass out, then he'd leave so he didn't traumatize him further. At least some other guy was here if that did happen. "Hey, chico. I'm Gabe. What's your mom look like? I could try to find her for you."
