Gabe had released Drake when he demanded it and was ready to take the verbal abuse his lover felt like throwing his way. Lashing out in fear, in pain. It was expected. He had tried to warn Drake about his footing but it was too late. He reached out to grab Drake as the man started to fall but he missed. He knew the forces here had interfered. The pool wanted Drake and it had taken him. He should have expected as much. Gabe was unable to move for a few moments. He tried to manipulate the water to spit Drake out but it would not heed him. Stubborn thing. It wanted to cleanse Drake, whether he was ready for it or not.<br/><br/>In the water he can see the sins seep out of Drake as the man slips under the surface. He knows the pool will not harm Drake and it wasn't like he could drown, but he doubts the vampire will be able to emerge from it on his own in his current state. Finally he is free to move and he dives in after the man. He swims down with ease, catching up to Drake and wrapping his arms around him before pulling him up toward the surface.
