““Next to the office was a closed door. “This room,” Gabriel stood at the door hesitantly, “is where we keep our collection of weapons so,” Gabriel turned the knob, “don’t freak out or anything.” Gabriel pushed the door open and Scarlet’s eyes took in a giant wall covered in deadly-looking arsenal. Knives, axes, swords, arrows, and many other tools lined the great wall. And some of them looked rather used. She started to freak out. “Uh…why do you have so many?” Were they gearing up for battle? Gabriel shrugged. “It’s a hobby. It’s more Tristan’s thing than mine, though.” Figures. “What, no guns?” Scarlet asked, looking around. “Guns are for losers,” Gabriel said. “And,” Scarlet looked at the nearest weapon with a crooked smile, “bloodstained battle axes are for winners?” Gabriel cocked his head and smiled at her. “Exactly””
