Change had been decided upon but that change was proving to be more difficult than anticipated. Not that Jaden had assumed breaking the routine would be easy but did it have to be so difficult? He had to approach his friend and instigate a conversation. Not just bland talk, but a meaningful conversation. Maybe it was the subject matter that had him lost as to how to start. He had stayed out late the night before trying to find the words that felt right with no luck. Returning to find her already asleep, he had been spared the awkward begging to their inevitable discussion.
Upon waking, he found that she had decided to go out early. It didn’t feel wrong because of their current state of dulled interaction that she would chose to leave without stirring him even if it should have. More proof that they were falling toward something Jaden couldn’t stand imagining. It was the last straw that pushed him to be ambitious in his pursuits of her.
Tracking the woman was easy enough. Her scent led in a relatively strait path to the rock garden. The alpha continued fruitlessly trying to find the words on his way. It wouldn’t be easy and perhaps it he shouldn’t try to plan for it. He knew something needed to be said and that might be enough. The stench of X’ies was an unfortunate thing to stumble upon and it had him hesitating at the garden’s boarders. If she was busy already with him, Jaden would have to deal with trying to dismiss the other male. His courage was at its fullest strength and would not be doused so easily. They needed to talk and break this disturbing trend.
So he watched X’ies approach X’yrin for only a moment before changing into a form similar to theirs. Then it was the final steps to contemplate and set the words on his tongue. He came into view wearing optime features that gave up little. He would give a smile to the woman that didn’t reach his eyes and a nod to the male. Good morning, X’yin, good morning X’ies. I hope I’m not intruding… it was said honestly and not in a bitter tone. A good way to start and one that lacked the usual distaste for male nomad. He simply didn’t have the capacity for it with his mind so occupied.
Jaden does. Jaden speaks. Jaden thinks.
