BOOP BOOP DOOP JACE TOLD ME TO SHOW UP!

Singing?

Tattered ears twitched and turned, searching for the source, the man suddenly stiff and frozen in his step. One male, one female; Jefferson made an effort to recognize the voices, but he did not. Phoenix Valley was a carefree place — he had always tried his hardest to keep it that way, despite the loud of troubles weighing on his own shoulders — but singing out in the packlands? It was unusual to he, but even for the scarred man who knew nothing of sentimentality and whimsicality like such, it blossomed a pride within his chest. They were at peace, enjoying themselves, alive and well even after all the pack had so recently endured. Singing in the Valley personified the pack itself, and after a few minutes' listening, the scarred man followed the music in a slow, calm gait.

After all, for such a monster to interrupt such beauty... it was surely a crime.

As he neared, the last singer — the female — dampened her voice, dropping down to a much lower level as if she didn't dare be heard. The words that reached him brought his ears back against his skull; sad, depressing, hopeless, ironic against the freedom of their songs and the feel in the Valley they created. Ookami and Jace both fell into his view, the empty sleeve of his shirt flapping calmly in the breeze as he approached, coming upon them only in the break in her song.

"Jace, Ookami," he said, a tranquility within the green of his eye — though an unseen worry lurked within as well. A slight smile pulled at his lips. "You two are a piece of work." A pause. "You sound like true Valleymen."
