Lucky. Jaden thought in response to Ty’s Coyote remark, but said nothing. He felt that unless this stranger met more than two or three coyotes, they wouldn’t be much of a match against his breadth. It was obvious Ty could break a coyote in half if he wanted to. The tone he took when speaking of them was humble and that bugged Jaden. They were the lucky ones. Just the fact that they had land near so many competent wolf packs was a miracle for them. Ty should have had disgust in his voice when admitting the coyote’s had attacked him.
The only thing that kept Jaden from holding his humility against the other male was the kind words and compliment he gave the former assassin. Those brought him just about to where he had been in the first place, he was a stranger with unknown motives and too many questions. Jaden wasn’t quick to trust most wolves, especially males when it came down to character. He was an assassin and had grown up surrounded by assassins and killers. Unless someone showed they meant you no harm beyond a reasonable doubt, they were not to be trusted. A pleasant guise meant nothing.
The orange hued stranger then made a comment that played over in Jaden’s mind as, “Don’t threaten me unless you are going to do something about it.” Yes, Jaden had threatened him as a warning and a hint to beat it. Instead, Ty continued to circle the Assassin irritatingly. When Ty’s body language dropped as if preparing to attack, Jaden instinctually did the same a threatening growl ripped past his suddenly bared teeth. “Then take it as a warning, friend, that you should leave now before you get yourself hurt.” Jaden tossed his satchel away and began to follow Ty’s movements, creating a slow circle as the two watched each other. The leather back pack landed with a metal clank as the moon blades within bumped each other. The dark optime wished he had drawn them at the first sight of other. Using his thumb, he popped the dagger from its sheath so he could draw it without resistance if he needed to. “You ask too many questions and I’m done answering them. State you business now or BE GONE.”
Jaden does. "Jaden speaks." Jaden thinks.
