[Gabriel's following along slowly, both supervising and observing 'his' goat's possible success, but although he is totally making fun of Marty he's also entirely willing to help. They're in this together, after all.
And sure, Gabriel could just try distracting the other animals, could try distracting the people, could do any number of normal things. But although his grace is just a flicker of what it could be and usually is, it's still enough for him to play a little dirty.
So he catches Marty's eye in return, waggles his eyebrows, and then looks toward the nearest competition. A flick of his fingers and suddenly the dirt under their opponent's feet should be more accurately described as mud, and down the person goes, unhurt but very confused.]
Rookie mistake. Gotta watch where you're walking.
[Don't mind if the same thing happens to the next closest challenger. Normally Gabriel prefers to be a bit flashier and more creative than this, but he's a little low on power, and although some magic is normal here and therefore nothing particularly noteworthy that doesn't mean he should draw too much attention.]
