El’sia is upset that Gabriel could’ve been hurt.

(El’sia): You could’ve been killed, child! The realms are not kind to those who wander unguarded. I forbade you to go out because I love you.

(Gabriel): Then why protect me like I’m fragile? Why hide me from the world? I’m not a shadow beneath your cape—I deserve to stand in the storm!”

💔 El’sia’s eyes narrowing, voice trembling

(El’sia): You think I do this because I doubt you? I am not a fool, and you are not weak. But even the strongest fall when fate strikes without mercy.

(Gabriel): Then trust me to rise! You say you’re not a fool—but you treat me like I’ll break. Maybe you don’t see me at all.

El’sia clenched her fist

(El’sia): Get out. I’m done having this argument with you.
