Looking out on the rolling hills that seemed to stretch in every direction for a very long time, Jaden couldn’t help but feel sort of small. It was a bit more difficult to truly admire the spectacle of the world from within the trees or strolling about the slopes of the hills. Everything was just so… big from up here. Being able to see for miles had the bicolored optime wondering exactly how far he could see. What forest was marked by the trees on the horizon? How far away were the farthest hills and mountains? It truly was beautiful to behold and second in Jaden’s mind only to the comfort of the sea’s blue tides.

There was another use for this tower than a point to look out on the world. The creators of this stone structure who were now lost to time might have designed it as a look-out post. It certainly worked well as the Issum quickly became aware of something approaching from the distance. He stepped to the edge of his view point where a stone guard rail had long since crumbled off and left it dangerously rounded and squinted to get a better look at grey highlighted by a cloud of dust. The horse and rider slowly became discernible from one another. Further development of the image would suggest the stranger to be a woman. Jaden smiled to himself. Living in a pack didn’t offer much chance to see new faces and he was begging to realize just how much he enjoyed the act. He wouldn’t admit it now after so recently taking his dearly beloved as a mate but females were always more interesting than males too. So he had some expectations for this stranger.

He was looking down on her when she spoke. It was good to hear a voice for Jaden had been fearing she’d ride right past unknowingly. In that call he heard the caution often granted by one stranger to another. She wanted to know if he would bite. I am, he affirmed loud enough that she would hear him clearly, It is well worth the climb, if you can appreciate the beauty of the land. It was meant to sound like a statement but hold more meaning: an invitation and a test of his own. How she answered or proceeded would describe what interest she held in meeting and conversing with him.

Jaden does. Jaden speaks. Jaden thinks.
