OoC!

While the land and creatures were quiet Jaden continued to work. Though his form was not the best for digging, he had begun turning the land some hours ago with optime paws. Mud and dirt now clung to his arms and had wriggled uncomfortably between his toes but he didn’t stop to clean himself. It would be an unnecessary movement that left too little for him to occupy his mind. He didn’t want the time to think. This was a habit that he had realized and indulged in gladly when he was upset or over stressed. Working hard had been regular since confronted with his love confliction. But now, after Thana had chosen to leave and X’yrin had partaken in a private discussion with X’ies about any number of worrying things, he was on overdrive. All day he had worked himself with little mercy.
But he couldn’t find energy where there was none. More and more often as the sun fell the Obsidian man was forced to rest his sore frame. He looked up during his short break and realized the sun had all but set and darkness was consuming the land. The time had nearly come to turn in for another no doubt sleepless night. Maybe there was hope. With how exhausted he felt, it would only be the cruelest of happenings that might keep him awake this night. Weary eyes fell with a soft sigh on his battered paws. He analyzed the scrapes and cuts he had gained from digging and felt at the sore spots from his training the day before. Perfectly uncomfortable. It would be hard to notice much more than his own discomfort once he gave in to his bodies wish to fall. He stretched his aching back from the awkward hunch it had suffered so he could tunnel into the mountain side before pulling himself into the little gouge he had managed for all his work. It never hurt to be sure. Well, in this case it did, but he went back to work anyway and stayed completely ignorant to his remaining love’s scent as she drew closer.
Jaden does. Jaden speaks. Jaden thinks.
