Jack follows Aurora, happy to be just the two of them. To say he's been struggling is an understatement. The random rage and anger has tolled him, exhausted him. He smiles softly as they cross the threshold of The Dale and The Chamber. He has never explored more than the Meadow and the little bit of the Dale they are currently living.
Aurora looks over to him with a kind expression, wondering how he's been feeling. He sighs softly, collecting his thoughts before he responds,” I’m doing okay. She scares me with her recklessness. I know I shouldn’t still be all hopped up on the day with Vic and Zain, but I feel like it still weighs on Vic. That's not fair to him. Essence has such an unbridled spirit that it worries me that she's going to get herself, Vic or someone else hurt. Whatever happened to her when she ran off was good for her. She hasn't been as reckless as she was,”
They cross the cold water that rushes between them, flowing between his legs. He steps carefully on the slippery rocks that bed the stream. He’s not sure where they're going, although Aurora seems to still remember the way pretty clearly.
He trots to keep up with her as she veers off the path towards where they found Escence panicked. He looks around at the trees and the ground below him, wondering what it was that caused her to get so freaked out. It looks like the same forest that is over at the Dale, just across the water.
“What was it that she said happened?” he asks, looking around before hearing a twig snap behind him.
