OOC here!
Hadley kept his eye on the ground, doing his best to remember that things had changed. He wasn't the rebellious soul he once was, ready to jump the first female who said hi to him, not drinking his days away. He was a slave now. He had no worth beyond what his master saw worthy to grant him. He'd learned that before he'd been a slave he'd been worth even less, and that weight still followed him. Omni's words encouraged him, letting him feel that maybe, just maybe, things were alright.
He jolted slightly as Omni touched him, eyes widening with fear. She didn't hurt him, just squeezed the hand softly before letting go. He nodded his head shortly before she pulled away, clambering onto the rock. Omni asked him to jump into the water with her, the tide already lapping at the rock. Without waiting for it she walked in. Shivering slightly he followed. The water was like an ice bath, drawing a gasp from him. He was immensely glad he didn't have any open wounds at the moment, or it would hurt a lot more. Shivering he waded over to Omni, standing nearby.
