The days had been quiet for the most part, aside from the night that he had watched his own home burn to the ground with his father. Since then, Jasper had been lingering near Inferni, though he hadn't gotten up the guts to go in to the lands on his own, despite Corona having invited him. In a way it didn't feel right being there. Corona was the only one he had any connection with, the only one with any ounce of care for him, while the rest of them certainly hated him. Did they know about him yet? Had they picked up his scent around the lands? Had Gabriel found out about him being there? Jasper wasn't certain and it worried him. Worried him to the point that his stomach churned and he felt sick just thinking about it. It was for that reason that Jasper was out wandering, forcing himself away from Inferni and out across the lands to see what could be found. He'd been making his way through a dense forest when he came across the boundaries of a pack, one that he knew very little about. Nervous, Jasper shifted direction, taking a wide arc away from their borders and a bit further into the forest. It was then, as he was rounding a rather large tree, that he saw the child. He'd only glanced for a moment but that split second caused him to stop and look again. The child seemed quiet the odd color, but it was the pup's ear that caught his eye. "Hello." Jasper said quietly, hands clasped together and rubbing at each other nervously. He'd never been so bold before, but he'd also never seen another that seemed like him. |
