A bit too late now Jaden realized the childish antics of what he had done. He read dissatisfaction upon his travel companions beautiful autumn toned body and guilt soon overrode the man’s lively amusement. She bid her warning with a graceful turn and began their travels. No words were needed to express the commencing of the trip. The woman’s purposeful steps were enough of an indication to answer the Shishen’s question. He watched her tail rhythmically swaying in time with her stride and felt, not for the first time, that he was the one to learn from her. The brute also realized that she might not stop if he had truly put her off and took a few quick steps to catch up. With a playful and innocent nip at his friend’s tail, he found his place at her side.
Shoulder to shoulder, into the unknown the two went now. Jaden didn’t bother voicing his questions of it but he had many. What was he to expect form this excursion? What is it that X’yrin found so fascinating about an untamed world? Even further down the list of appropriate questions was one that bothered him quite often and now over took all else. Would the woman he had spent so much time with in recent days return to Ichika with him? Once she shared what she loved so much, would she leave it behind again? Doubt and fear that she might choose this over Ichika… over their friendship… slipped painful slivers of cold into Jaden’s usually warm outlook. To these questions he knew no answers, but that was his purpose now. For the next short but ultimately undefined amount of time, he could leave all the pressures of Ichika behind and just relax. He could learn what was so invigorating about the nomadic life style. Before him, a new and curious road snaked ahead. Jaden was here to experience it, but there was more to it than that. He hoped finding what was so alluring to this path would help him bring X’yrin back from it once their journey was through.
Jaden does. "Jaden speaks." Jaden thinks.
