The tension between Jaden and Ty was tangible. Nature watched in silent awe as the two stared each other down. Now was the deciding moment in the wolves’ confrontation. What Ty did next would either suppress or provoke an attack from the assassin across from him. Jaden watched intently with a calculating gaze, looking for body language to go with what Ty began to say.
Before now, the Alaskan wasn’t sure of Ty’s true intentions. What the man said didn’t reassure him in the least. Jaden didn’t care how Ty’s week had been, and at this point he didn’t know whether to believe him when he said he had only hoped for a conversation. What truly spoke to Jaden was Ty’s grin. That calm grin and those calm words it spat. Never had anyone taken a threat from Jaden in a like way. Most would either get angry and challenge him, or get serious and leave. Not this. Ty said he knew Jaden didn’t trust him. He knew he was aggravating him. After being threatened and told to leave he stayed. It all drew to the same conclusion. Ty wanted to fight. His words didn’t deny it either. He looked Jaden straight in the eye and his message was clear. Bring it on.
“So be it.” Jaden breathed. He was not one to make empty threats. In the next moment the irritated assassin attacked. With all the agility he could muster, he crossed the distance between him and Ty and drew his dagger with his left hand in an upward slice. Because the dagger was sheathed on his left hip, it was now in perfect position for a second attack, a downward stab. But Jaden had no intention to kill this other man. Not yet anyways, so he spun the dagger in his palm so it would come down for another slice. These first moves were a test. Jaden was right handed. If he had intended on ending the fight in one blow, he would have stricken in a much different way and used his more dominant hand. He was testing Ty to see how quick he was and how well he could combat with only his bare claws. Jaden was well experienced in defensive hand to hand combat. If the other attempted to twist the dagger free of his grasp, he still had his dominate hand to dismiss a grappling attack or block an incoming punch. The assassin had instigated a fight and he intended to know how matched he was against his opponent.
Jaden does. "Jaden speaks." Jaden thinks.
