Ouroboros Spine take me home

Anddd, no pressure on whether or not you have Dijax accept. I don't know what your plans are, but knew it would be up Mordecai's alley to try and recruit him anyhow. :X

Mordecai kept his watch, a silent sentinel at the water's edge in hope that they would not be disturbed. Fortune seemed to be on their side on that particular day, and his watch soon gave way to watching Dijax. It would not have taken a rocket scientist to see that he was more than just thankful. The crisp waters had a seemingly rejuvenating effect on the Russian; in turn it was hard for Mordecai not to let a warm smile slip across his features. In Dijax's dance-like moment of recuperation, Mordecai allowed his thoughts to delve back into what he had considered before in regards to the blueish-grey loner.


At the issued thank-you, he felt it time to bring those notions to light. “You know, I am willing to offer you some refuge here if you'd like. Winter is coming, and quickly,” and then he paused, but not for effect. The wording eluded him. “The Spine could use as many able bodies as we can feed to get through it. I'd rather not miss the opportunity to offer safety here, nor would I like to discover what could become of you in a matter of weeks.” It sounded darker than he intended, but Mordecai could not help but feel it was warranted. Even when in truth, he did not know what to expect with the snows that would come.
