There was so much peace in his mind that his blue eyes fell closed after the clouds began to loser their spender. His thoughts began to forget their tamed state and wandered toward dreams of ideas suppressed. For what felt like hours to an inactive mind was only minutes before the sound of footsteps and a cold shadow broke his spell. Eyes obviously struggling to regain earthly bearings snapped open only to be filled with the same face from the ghostly beginnings of his dream, Hello, he managed to mumble slightly off key.
Though he quickly found himself again in reality, his body was slow to awaken. He drew the muscular arms that had served to rest his crown back over his chest and felt how stiff they had become whilst he had been lounging. Claws intertwined as they found a new position resting on his belly and he smiled up at the woman standing above him, There is… plenty of day for the both of us. The hesitation as he corrected his words was minute and almost unnoticeable. What had almost slipped past his lips were the words “no one I’d rather share it with”. Remembering how she last responded to that easily convinced him that different words would be appropriate now.
All the thoughts he had been trying to avoid came easily with her presence. His guilt didn’t show but tainted him with every breath he drew of her scent. His choice was still unmade. It hadn’t been settled in his mind and he had come to no terms with it. It jabbed at him enough that his sleepy mind didn’t notice the odd role hanging from his friend’s lips right way. The burning thing put off a bitter odor that eventually got his attention and he recognized it but had no special name for this. He assumed it was just a cigarette. His eyes turned questioningly on it. He hadn’t known his dear friend to be a smoker. But he said nothing for now, waiting to see how she planned to join him before starting any sort of conversation.
Jaden does. Jaden speaks. Jaden thinks.
