whenever you guys have time, seeking leadership but also aw c:
It had also been quite a while since Jet had traversed this path. Just as in that foggy forest, the dark man had pretty much followed the same path he and Nori had taken on their first trip up to the cove. He remembered most of it vividly, her most of all. The journey wasn’t as easy as he remembered it though - perhaps due in part to age, and more so that he wasn’t exactly in the best of shape.
So much so that he was tired by the time he reached their borders. And for a time he paused there, lingering just beyond their markings, hesitating, and catching his breath.
Despite the years between then and now, as well as decent knowledge of the lands and acquaintances that resided within, he couldn’t help but feel similarly to how he’d felt as a youth. Knots of anxiety in his chest, that would’ve been strong enough to turn him back were it not for his cause.
He still recalled that Magg had been hurt, and young Ally had been asking about the wolves here. He had to know what’d become of them, to be sure that the Cove knew, in case somehow the news hadn’t been passed along yet. He was no longer a leader, but he hadn’t lost his conscience either.
Steeling his nerves, Jet sent up a short call for them and then sat back to wait.
