Gabe took firm hold of Drake, the cloudy black water did not obscure his lover from him. He knew the vampire had not been ready for this, Drake should have been able to choose it for himself. No use in mooning over the past though. He pulls Drake up to the surface, the trails of dark water getting thinner and dissipating the further they swam. Gabe was focused on getting them out of the pool so the changes to his mate were not immediately apparent to him. By the time they reach the edge of the pool, Drake has been fully cleansed, which Gabe imagined was what the pool of holy water had wanted to begin with. He's not certain whether to be irritated with the thing or not. It was not exactly fully cognizant.<br/><br/>As they reach the edge Gabe is able to find solid ground and carry Drake out. It takes a certain frame of mind to be able to find ground in this pool and Gabriel doesn't think Drake could have found it. As soon as he is free of the water he takes a few more steps and sits down on the bank, cuddling his vampire as he cried. "I'm here for you my love." He says softly as he rocks the man. Looking back over the water the black inky clouds are gone, the water still pure and untainted. He holds Drake close and just tries to comfort him, letting him get it out.
