The bird was beginning to prove himself as a trying creature indeed. As Jaden towed it toward the Alpha’s chambers it continuously pecked at his head. Why would such a creature aggravate him, a predator who could eat it with only a few bites? Of course, this like most of the misunderstandings between him and the raptor spawned from his lack of understanding. It was hungry. Simple as that. With the simple word “Food” said clearly in low speech, he would give Jaden’s head a light peck. His previous owner had always had food ready when he asked. This one seemed clueless to his desires and he didn’t know how else to go about acquiring sustenance. So every few minutes when it seemed his master wasn’t hunting he would repeat his one word request and peck the obsidian head again.
It wasn’t as if Jaden was letting the feathered thing starve. He had given it a mouse at the day’s start and was under the assumption that a smaller animal didn’t need to eat three times a day. So he had absolutely no idea why he was being pecked. By the time he reached the Den he was clenching his teeth to keep from cursing at the vulture.
The overwhelming scent of his beloved friend did wonders to clear his mind even with the anger her still held for her actions. All that had transpired between them was still somewhat fresh in his mind. This offering was not one of forgiveness just… kindness. Even though the bird was a pain, he knew she loved feathered things like him. Jaden had gone out of his way to acquire it for her. But it wasn’t to say sorry. That was all a separate matter, he assured himself. He could be angry and still want to make her happy right? It was a simple gift to his dearest friend.
He left it tied to a rock near her bedding but not before it pecked him once more on the hand. He had been told the thing would follow a stay order. But just because it understood didn’t mean it would listen. Stay, you horrid beast, he growled for good measure. Then he took one last glance around the empty room and deep breath of the comforting scent then found his way out into Sangi’lak once again.
Jaden does. Jaden speaks. Jaden thinks.
