Omg, you guys make Foxtrot look so tempting! Sigh.
BUT at least Elia has reasons to know him, since she used to be a Foxtrot girl. She would be completely enthralled by Gabriel and his awesome half-nightmare form... to her, he'd look like a life-size half-darkling, and she would want to be friends. She's a little on the... 'eccentric' side, as she's being written. But harmless in the way that she would just find him extremely, extremely interesting and intriguing.
