It didn’t take long before Jaden’s wandering eyes fell pray to X’yrin’s presence .The fire to his back warmed the man’s fur and flickered him with a vibrant orange silhouette as he watched his friend advance. The calamity in the air fit her press forward. If not for the setting Jaden may have looked at her approach as something way off norm. Compared to the nimble warrior who seemed fond of ambushing him this female was utterly clumsy and informal. But it fit the occasion! It was a little surprising to see her this way, however, it didn’t warrant anything more than an amused chuckle from the Shishen.

The same to you, X’yrin, pronounced Jaden merrily and took a few steps forward to meet the lady. Her laugh was contagious and brought a warm smile upon Jaden’s ebony muzzle as he listened. You know, I’m not too sure the word’s exact meaning either, but the festival does seem lively. With that acknowledgement his eyes fell from the female and onto the wine in his hands. Drinking had never been a pass time for Jaden. He admired the dark glass which was still mostly full due to his feeble draws from it. To be honest, Jaden had only ever been drunk once. That had been a lesson on just how susceptible wolves could be under the influence. During that night, Jaden had agreed to pick up a majority of the pack’s chores for the next week for no better reason than because he wanted to see his friends happy. Apparently his mood was a very easy to influence when liquored too, because reportedly not twenty minutes after pledging to do everything he possibly could for Uva Atka, he’d gotten into an angry drunken spar with a younger braggart. Of course, he’d won but after both having to deal with the pack elders for his disturbance and clean every weapon in the land planned to never loose his head to the poison again.

But just how bad would it be? The kindness of Ichika would more than likely ensure safety for a susceptible to suggestion Shishen, but he was yet to be convinced that indulging as heartily as X’yrin would be appropriate for him. Having a brief moment to let these thoughts pass, Jaden brought his gaze back up and had it completely stolen by the female in front of him. The very power of those eyes on him was startling. Even with their intoxicated sheen, Jaden felt his belly flutter oddly as she spoke and, for a second, he was unsure how exactly he should respond. Well… thank you. he breathed finally and managed a convincingly calm and regular smile, I wouldn’t want to miss out on all the fun. He took hold of her hand gently in his and freed the bottle from her grasp before taking a fine draw. Have I missed much? You seem to be well into the festivities… Jaden teased, using his friendly banter to hopefully patch up and distract from his clumsily breathed response.

Jaden does. "Jaden speaks." Jaden thinks.
