The Sunspire Shade Tree

Jace frowned, but then a small smile tickled his maw.

I know Nishu, he's a strange one, but his heart is in the right place. He almost fell down the cliff one day though. Hopefully, he learned from that mistake.

He briefly thought on the male, the one who claimed to be a knight.

Jace looked down briefly, a little unsure what to say. He didn't wish to upset Sumayl, by telling Amekaze about this. However, at the same time, he needed to talk to someone, that wasn't his sister.

Sumayl, he hasn't liked me since I met him and that was my fault. I reprimanded him for swearing in front of my sister. Then after that he's met me two other times, and both times ended badly, he tells me I'm childish, and anti social, and that I am upset with him because he doesn't fear me. When frankly I could give two craps about that. I just don't like his cocky, narcissistic personality. Even the one time I tried to joke, it fell flat and he says I always sound as if I am accusing him. I didn't think so, but I am at a loss. I try not to talk to him, and I haven't told Vienna anything that he says. I don't want to ruin that for her. Even if I hate the guy, i'm not going to hurt my sister that way. He just, he doesn't like me, he also thinks i'm a poor leader. Just to name a few things, and I know I'm at fault too. I just honestly don't know how to talk to him, without getting my words twisted or making him angry.

Jace frowned harder, and looked about him for a moment. He was unsure what to do about this mess. He cocked as small crooked smile at her, but that was all. He shifted his paws and waited.
