The day was dreary. All day the sky had been tossing down gouts of rain. Off and on the icy water patted the earth below. Jaden was in a foul mood because of other reasons. Across his body were splayed many different marks of battle, some fresher than others. His ribs ached where a cougar had struck him and cracked three of them. Now the rain threatened to drench him and leach the warmth from his broken skin. And, on top of all this physical discomfort, his emotions tore around inside him like the angry feline he had killed only a week or so ago. Where was home? That question stung more than any other. He had damned himself to a life of wandering, but that loneliness had been broken by none other than his dearest friend. Now every moment he spent by himself in the cold rain seemed infinity longer. He longed to go and rejoin his pack and to be a part of them again but knew the wants were selfish. He had left with good reason. Ichika didn’t need a danger like them constantly threatening their peace.

Jaden wouldn’t freeze even if the possibility was there. He had taken cover under a tree near the edge of the Dampwoods. From where he sat at the tree’s base he could see the ocean and the angry waves that clawed up the shore. The water was something he loved to watch. It reminded him of home and spurred a happiness that only came with something close and familiar. So, even when the air calmed and the small droplets of rain relented like they had so many times before, he sat there in his long black jacket. He had removed the cold metal from his arms a while ago and the obsidian pair lay next to him, unfairly matched while he sat cold and alone.

Jaden does. Jaden speaks. Jaden thinks.
