The weight that sounded to be crushing his friend’s heart was almost tangible while he pulled her up to face him. Her whines of agony nearly incurred a similar response within his tight throat. Feeling her pain was worse ten-fold than how sad this goodbye made him. What was even worse than that, he was the only one to blame for the pain they now shared in place of their wonderful relationship. It was all his fault. If he wanted to blame a god or ancestors of his own there may have been no reason to step forward with this. The hope his Nomad friend had that they would meet again he felt to be misplaced. There would never be a reason for him to think it was safe to be here. That is why he would not return. So long as he believed himself to be this way, immoral, prone to terrible sin, he would keep away from this wonderful place and his lovely friend.
The newly demoted wanderer knew that this, this last meeting, this friendship, this life he had here was forevermore over. But he needed to savor this moment. He pulled on its fleeting tail for moments more by closing the distance between them. Tilting his head down to her level, he affectionately rubbed his strong muzzle softly along her own. Every sensation he dedicated to memory. Her breath, her warm fur, her beautiful eyes, and her beautiful smile would only be ghosts within his mind from now on. In different circumstances he might have kissed her but it was not appropriate now. She belonged to another and he could smell the Ichikan on her even now. It being the only thing marring his perfect final moments with Xyrin.
But now it was time. He would drag this out no longer. More fluidly than it felt his heart was tearing, Jaden stepped away from the woman. He untangled their hands and left the dagger in place of his grip, torn leather bindings hanging from the sheath between her fingers. I am no nomad, his voice was sad and ashamed of the fact and his gaze fell. Goodbye my friend. His dark blue eyes graced hers one final time before he turned away. He wouldn't have the heart to look back again.
Jaden does. "Jaden speaks." Jaden thinks.
