"Stop it, River," Gael said, right before his eyes, the lava rose so high, as if it had its own mind.
Seeing that, Gael didn't even flinch at all. He just made a slicing movement, as he waved his hand when River made the lava around her attack Gael. It was her instinct to protect herself and Vanesha.
"Stop this." Gael just defended himself, there was no way he would attack his daughter back. He understood that she was scared and confused.
While doing so, Gael walked closer toward his daughter. There was this warm smile on his lips, as if his old self had returned, despite his daughter trying to kill him. He was too ecstatic to meet his daughter to think otherwise.
"Stop it, okay?" Right now, Gael stood right in front of River. He caught her hand when she tried to hit him and burn him again. The fire in her palm died down easily. "I am your father," Gael said. "River, I am your father."
