So Steve made these little radios, you see.

And Gabriel went off somewhere at some point and he, um, well, he hasn't been answering his.

And Steve is worried. (If Sylar has done something untoward, then Steve swears to any Shattered gods that he will kick the man's psychopathic ass.)

Fortunately, he knows of at least two people on the farm who might be able to reassure him as to his boyfriend's continued safety, and both of them are fairly easy to pick out of a crowd.

cf. Inty, being rainbowed and distraught over by the kraken pond.

...wait.

Distraught?

"I only just noticed," she says, picking a conversation out of thin air as the Intuitions are wont to do. "He was just elsewhere, and he thought he'd be back soon, and then he was-- and I couldn't tell, until half a minute ago."

Beat.

"No."

Half a beat.

"I'm sorry. Your Gabriel's gone and I don't know how to be human right now."

"Gone. Yes. Gone."

Inty shakes her head, wrapping her arms around her stomach in the classic guilt pose.

"I'm sorry. I should have been paying attention-- I thought everything was all right, and then-- I couldn't tell."

She bites her lip, steps forward, and puts a hand very awkwardly on his shoulder.

A human gesture from an inhuman girl. The dissonance couldn't be more obvious.

Inty hugs back, with her arms around his waist and her head leaning on his shoulder and her eyes full of ridiculous helpless biological tears. She liked Gabriel. He was-- he was a Gabriel, and now he's



And now





And now Steve needs her and she can't fall to pieces just yet, no matter what else she's failed to see today.

Some facts are so big that when they come into your mind there stops being room for anything else.

Intuition is currently holding two.

She might as well be. After all, her Gabriel isn't dead. He might even be home.

(The knowledge doesn't help much.)

All things considered, Inty's sensibilities can take the hit.
