The Sunspire When the Sunset Meets the Shadow

Jace was just batting a thousand this week, first he had possibly chased away the girl he was in love with. He just couldn’t win for losing and that was obvious when he saw the other’s face at his question. By all the gods were all females crazy he was really starting to think so. What the heck was he supposed to do now, he couldn’t leave her there all sad and broken hearted, He had severe white knight syndrome and he could no more ignore a damsel in distress than he could ignore a hungry belly. He uttered a quiet curse under his breath and stood still while he thought of what to do.

He strode forward and nosed her side and her neck trying to get her attention and then he spoke quietly Listen red I don’t need to know where you came from? I don’t need to know if something bad happened unless you want me to fight with someone on your behalf then yea I need to know but otherwise I don’t. So please don’t make that bonny face of yours sad. It doesn’t matter, all that matters is that you’re here now and you’re part of my family now and no matter what I’ll take care of you and everyone else. I promise. it was a hefty promise but it was one he would keep with his dying breath. Some day he’d probably die holding tight to those ideals, but not today and not right now so he gave her a small smile and then he backed up a little bit hoping he had made her feel a little bit better.
