Jaden rarely cooked for others and when he had done it in the past they had all been wolves. The piece he removed from his large amount of cooking meat was a bit big for the Jackal female. He noticed only after his arm was outstretched to give it and by that time it was a bit late to revoke and diminish the amount offered. So he stood a little awkwardly while she shifted to accommodate the chunk of meat. Eventually she took it and he returned to the spit. He watched her and gave it a half turn.

Rarely did he get to see the positive reaction of someone trying something new that they really enjoyed. It was satisfying to see the grin. Sira was an endearing creature and Jaden could tell why his beloved had come to adore her. He grinned proudly at her proclamation. It‘s maple syrup from the sugar woods. Adds a nice flavor, doesn’t it? He had been thinking about journeying back there to search for more but noting that he wasn’t the only one to really enjoy the mingling of sweet and savory convinced him that it had to be done. If he could find what he had without any aim or real desire then maybe there was plenty more stashed around there.

The fire he had built for his meat was beginning to die down now and he didn’t stoke it despite having plenty of wood gathered nearby. The cooking was done. He could let it heat a little while he spoke with Sira before it began to dry out. So Jaden folded his legs and sat a little way away from the fire and facing the much small woman while she ate. I see you have found a new friend, he started curiously, does it have a name?

Jaden does. Jaden speaks. Jaden thinks.
