At the smirk, the vampire returned the expression almost involuntarily. As the moment passed the expression died quickly and her gaze went to the ground. Gabriel couldn't understand what it was about the smell that had him so fixated. It was wolflike, but not in the same way he was. In a way that seemed to make the hair on his neck stand. "Hmm," He grunted low in his throat. The smell grew stronger, and Gabriel turned as Conner pointed out the snarling stranger. With innocents and friends surrounding him, he found the viciousness of his demeanor disgusting. It caused Gabriel to growl like a savage lupine beast. His nails were already sharpening, bones crackling as the shifted and thickened to support denser muscle. A fractal transformation. Vinnessa's hands found her daggers in no time, and took a low stance during the commotion.As fast as the newcomer had come, he had gone. Gabriel frowned, but it was Vinnessa who shot like a bullet towards where they had gone, low to the ground to attract minimal attention. Hands still on the pommels of her sheathed daggers, she wanted to find out who this person was. She didn't like that his scent gave her friend the willies, and that made this person a potential threat. Taking no chances, she would utilize stealth to nip the problem in the bud. Gabriel followed at a slower pace, uttering many "Excuse me"s along the way. "We're losing our spots in line for this! Bah!"
