Gavin suppressed a smile when the barrier came up, it was really a good thing, as he'd finally be able to talk to the Grimm. He barely had time to talk before a troll bashed K.C. over the head, freeing them both. Pretending to chuckle, he grabbed his knife off the ground and approached Clara with a smile. "Awesome job Clare! I'm not sure whether this would be a good time to ask for a high-five, but hey, we just beat our first Grimm, I think it's warranted." He held up his hand, still in armor and surrounded by tendrils made from his shadow.
