(because Like Her Father Death Would Only Slow Kit From Getting Back To Jade) - Tumblr Posts

Jade stops herself from laughing, but a smile does make its way on her face. She's not sure she appreciates anything Boorman teaches, but certainly some things. His advice to her after she "released" her father of his possession was actually good advice and had helped her in the days since. But those gems were few and far in between. She more often found herself rolling her eyes and losing her patience. "Just make sure you can discern the gold from the bullshit."

Her thumbs rub with intense pressure against the water skin in her hand, her nerves revealing themselves. His words give them a moment of relief, though. Hearing others say it still catches her off-guard. "I do. And I know nothing would stop her from coming back to me. Not if she can help it."

duty. it's a word that used to dictate his life; owned his life almost. the protection of sandeni and those of his people had been everything to him. aeron would have given an arm, leg, everything, to the cause. now? now he's not too sure that his duty would ever mean anything. not now, not here. still, he understands this part of jade. maybe that's why he doesn't fight or argue against her words. instead, he takes post beside her and threads fingers behind his back. ❛❛ okay. ❜❜

❛❛ i appreciate anything he teaches me. ❜❜ boorman's life perspective is the complete opposite of aeron's. while he doesn't naturally agree with what's being taught, he'll always listen. there's a reason boorman has survived this long; there's a reason all of them has survived this long, and he would listen to their advice all night if he could. in a way, it helps him feel like he belongs. noting her tone, he glances sideways at the knight. ❛❛ you love her, ❜❜ he says, matter-of-factly. ❛❛ you need to trust that, above all things, will bring her back to you. ❜❜
