At the door opening, Abel stilled, eyes on the doctor as he moved through the room. Abel may have trouble speaking English, but didn't have much trouble understanding what he was saying. Three years, almost four? That didn't line up with the last time Cain had been grabbed, which meant Cain had dealt with them before they had even met. Abel didn't like that. It meant Cain hid something from him.

But he didn't have time to ponder it because the doctor started cutting and Abel slammed himself against his cage, growling like a wild animal. "Leave him alone." He instinctively switched back to Latin, not really thinking about whether or not the doctor would understand. From the tone of his voice, it was very obvious that Abel wanted to tear through the cage and into the doctor's clockless throat.
