Loki had a hard time believing the angel actually came straight towards the place where he was hiding. It was unfair! How could he know?

Well, spotted he might be, but at least he wasn't defenseless. He raised his marker's muzzle slightl to aim for Gabriel's shoulder rather than his chest. if he was lucky, the other one would take a second before he got off a shot of his won after being hit on such a relatively short distance.

He did not watch to see if he even hit, but instead burst out from his current bush and dove for cover behind another one, closer to the wall.
