Rising Sun Valley the knife's edge

This is fine! :D

Edit: I missed RP'ing with you!

But Bazi saw him. She froze mid-step, poised like a creature carved of ice. Only her eyes moved, flickering erratically between Jace and random, unimportant spots in the shadows that hugged his shape. She wasn’t ready for this. The Jace in her mind - the one she begun to build as soon as word of his departure had reached her ears - was not yet ready. It buckled like rice paper in face of the living, breathing reality, and took its imaginary sins away with it. Insanity, rage - sodomy. The Jace in front of her was not like that, no matter how much she wanted there to be an obvious reason to cut him out.

The dark wraith seemed oblivious to her presence, though she was as out of place against the greenery as a snowball in summer. Bazi held her breath, even debated letting him continue on without saying a word - but couldn’t. ”Jace,” she tried to shout. The word wobbled awkwardly on her tongue. Suddenly, there was a lump in her throat, and a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach. She hadn’t see hair nor hide of her former pack-mate since his departure, and for all her careful preparation, when the moment was upon her, it was impossible to stick to the plan. The practiced tirade of insults melted in the heat of the emotion she felt now. The full force of it made her lower jaw shake, and the pale girl bit down hard in an embarrassed attempt to stop it.
