Jaden had an understanding of the relationship between is friend and her mate before leaving Ichika. The Shepard had spoken highly of her mate while during the trip and he quickly realized the place he held in her heart. What seemed odd even to the former Ichikan was when the man was nowhere to be seen when his mate showed her delicate muzzle in the land. He thought he knew the other man’s scent from memory too, he and he couldn’t pick it up. But such things were not his place to point out. He had his own opinion of the man X’yrin had chosen for a mate but he wouldn’t share it. If the man stayed when everyone had left, including the Alaskan himself, he deserved more respect than Jaden had given him previously.
After the question escaped his maw he quickly came to regret it. He had been carrying the animal by himself for most of the trip and his companion never tired in her efforts to take the burden. It was too painful for him to shift so they couldn’t carry it on four legs and trying to share the weight between them on two would be awkward and only impede their progress more so. For the sake of keeping a relatively decent pace, he had just decided to carry the creature himself. But now that they were so close to done, a small break didn’t seem too horrid an idea. You worry over me too much— he winced and flinched away from the woman’s delicate prod. All areas around his injured rib had become bruised and sore from strain. He smiled sheepishly for not being able to hide his discomfort, But if you insist… He stopped in the clear area she had indicated and dropped the cougar heavily and slumped down on his tail, awkwardly straitening his back to avoid bunching the muscle of his midsection. At least the weather stayed fair during our journey.
Jaden does. Jaden speaks. Jaden thinks.
