You only live once

It was hard for Jade to not feel at least partially uncertain about this. Talis had been a fine place to live, and it had been basically all she'd ever known growing up.. but there was so much world she hadn't explored and she hoped she wouldn't regret coming here. At least being in one stable place gave her a chance to reunite with her family again, if that was what they wanted. She really wasn't sure about anything anymore, not entirely, at least. It didn't take all that long for Dragon to respond to her call, ambling in her direction from the distance. She beamed, excited to reunite with him, but she couldn't help but let her expression wilt slightly when he came closer. His face was scarred, and his eyes were... vacant. Not looking right at her. Jade wasn't quite sure what to make of it, but she'd ignore it for now while she tried to make sense of what had happened to him. "Dragon," she greeted him gently in return, feeling her tail beginning to wave behind her. His question made her pause for a second, considering. "I've been fine. I'm sorry I left without an explanation," Jade started tentatively, hoping he understood - but almost understanding if he didn't want to. He'd always struck her as a reasonable and kind man, though, so she had a feeling he wouldn't react badly to her return. "I started to feel a bit weird without my family around, so felt the urge to wander off for awhile though. But I'd like to return to Talis, I think." Her ears flicked, standing up a bit taller as she waited. "I understand if you say no, but I can promise I won't disappear this time without letting you know first." A smile quirked her lips as she spoke, glad to be back here despite her worries. |
