Rising Sun Valley the knife's edge

Jace studied her face eyes tracing over the intricacies of her femininity. He was unsure how to proceed into this meeting though a part of him was wounded by all of their betryal. those that had turned their backs upon him when he had needed them most. Hers especially was like the dull edge of a knife cutting him up, but though he wished to rage and storm at her, he could not. she had only been doing what she thought best when she sent him to hold council with fox alone save Ferdie. She looked far to uneasy and dejected and curse his soft heart but he didn't want to be the reason she looked deflated.

Jace turned blue eyes towards the ground not wanting her to see the anger and pain that pulsed there. her words made a bubble of dark mirth come up from his gullet and he chuckled a deep rich chuckle that resonated in his chest. Yes bazi I am on the Sunspire. You are in the creek. the last part an attempt at humor though darkly so fell flat. He licked his muzzle and squared his shoulders lifting eyes with internal fire blazing from inside back to her face. how have you been Bazi? her name like a gentle touch was reeking havoc on the vulnerable parts of his heart his best friend she had been his best friend and no where near to help him when his world fell flat and his heart shattered. she had not been there to help pick up the pieces.
