Gabriel frowned at her tone, glancing over at her curiously. Had he screwed up? He hadn't intended it as an insult or for it to seem as if he were using her. If he hadn't expected that bitch to be pissed that he chose someone else, he'd never let her come near anything as dangerous as a vampire.<br/><br/>He fell silent in the interim, somewhat uncomfortable by his mistake. Finally, when she spoke again, the Warden breathed a small sigh of relief at her change of tone. "Well, that was the intention." He shrugged, glad she'd realized what he'd meant by the statement. The man was amused at himself, being so intimidated by one unclear phrase. Facing down any number of nasty spooks was preferable in his eyes to the anger of this woman.
