Levi pointed over at Lenny, agreeing with her. "It's true." All he kept thinking was His name is Gabriel? His parents named him GABRIEL?

"That may be so, but it's no reason for you to throw yourself in front of dangerous animals. Surely that's the kind of animal that wouldn't listen." Robin looked away and said something, barely audibly. "Everyone d-deserves a chance…"

Levi sighed, feeling bad for Robin. He stood up and continued crossing his arms. "The bear was just rude. It's like talking to people. Most of them are nice and they'll listen to you, but there's always one that's rude."

Lenny nodded in agreement.

Robin looked up at Levi, smiling slightly. "What would Grayson think?" His father went on. "What would he think of you purposefully putting yourself in danger after the trap? He remembers it clearly, recalling it with fear. He wants to protect you Gabe, but you're making it very difficult, aren't you?" Robin looked away again, more tears falling from his eyes. He cared about his older brother very much, who seemed to be the only one who truly understood his affinity with animals. He accepted Robin for it, didn't shame him or make him feel like a freak.

Levi groaned. Why did adults never listen to him? "Whoever this Grayson is would probably think the same way Lenny and I are thinking. He tried to calm the bear so it wouldn't attack us. I remember my fear from the attack, but I also remember Robin's bravery." He took a breath, pointing at Robin. "You're making your son cry! Don't you realize that he might have made one mistake and that's it?"

Robin's parents sighed. "Grayson is his brother, older by four years. Gabriel, though you probably know him as Robin, has done things like this many times. It must be addressed, so that he doesn't keep putting himself in danger. It doesn't mean we love him any less, we just want him to be safe." Robin understood his parents' reasoning, but he had always hated being in trouble. Just his parents calling him up to their room was enough to fill his heart with fear and anxiety. He closed his eyes, turning away and trying to wipe away his tears halfheartedly.

Levi leaned back against the wall, mumbling to himself. "If you call that a reason…"

After Robin's parents had finished scolding him, his mother helped him out of the bed so they could go home. "C-can my friends come with us?" His parents agreed and Robin insisted on walking by himself, even though it was painful. He had cracked one of his ribs when the bear attacked him, in addition to the main wound.

Levi stood up and followed them out of the room. "Robin, are you sure you don't need help?"

"I-I'm fine." Robin had one arm across his chest, walking slowly but saying nothing about the pain. He bit his lip to distract himself, and was glad when they got outside so he could distract himself with the animals instead. His lip was bleeding.

Levi sighed. If he said he didn't need help, he wouldn't help him. "Alright, if you say so."

Robin decided to use Papaver for support, the fawn gladly walking by his side. His parents saw his little posse of animals, but decided to say nothing about them.

Levi looked over at Lenny, whispering. "Do you think he'll be alright?"

(Huh)
They eventually made it to Robin's house, taking a while so Robin wouldn't be left behind with his slow pace. A young buck ran up to him once he was near the forest next to his house, greeting him and Papaver. Robin stroked the deer, who was apparently called Arbor.

"What's this one called?" Levi asked, petting the buck.

"I call him Arbor, Latin for tree. Papaver is his little sister, actually." He smiled at the two deer, who seemed to be conversing with each other in a way. The three birds settled themselves on Arbor's antlers.

"Cool." Levi looked around. "Wow, your house is a lot better than my apartment."
