Rising Sun Valley the knife's edge

Jace gave her more space after she cleared her face of tears and snot. He still was awkward around others, unsure what they wanted and needed touch wise from him. He sat to his haunches head and shoulders above Bazi still and he spoke quietly I have no choice Bazi now do I? and to answer you no I do not mind and he is not sick anymore. He is perfectly fine now. He is eating, he is well groomed again and he is a good leader. Granted he still suffers from the same issues that I have, but you wouldn't be able to tell anymore from outward appearances. He is even learning to fish. I think that Fox was just not kind to Ferdie and it is what was the straw that broke his back so to speak. I do not deign to know much from his past I do not know what has made him the way he is, but as a leader he has grown into his own.

Jace shrugged there was not really much more to tell. He had fought and lost and he had been homeless for a few days, but he was fine now. He bent to lick at the scab that was over his shoulder gently brushing teeth across it to scratch the itch that burned there.
