He did not truly see that she would continue on in shame. He did not believe the woman to be far too hard headed to do that. The attack of words was to force a choice into her mind: fight or be called a coward. He hadn’t taken the time to wonder where she totted the kill in her jaws. But, by the determination he saw in her defiant eyes before they turned and the hustle she forced from herself to scramble up the side of the mountain he could only guess that she went to place herself between him and X’ies.

So he instead adopted a comfortable pace up the steep climb and thought as he went. X’yrin would make this difficult when she knew she would lose to him in battle. Perhaps she felt that placing herself where she was not desired to be would somehow change the course of things. It was immature and annoying but changed little. The Issum would simply have to move his aim from the woman to her mate. X’ies had pride and felt certain superiority. He had to for what he’d done.

Jaden does. Jaden speaks. Jaden thinks.
