Jinju
Her fire answers his. It dances and grows, its hot flare shimmering in her ruby eyes. Eyes that meet equally as red eyes. Well, that was not something she hadn’t seen before, just never before had the owner of those red eyes resembled her as much as he did. Or perhaps did she resemble him. Aside from the scarring that stood in high contrast with his black coat.
She had sensed a soul out here in the forest. Her father lessons of the way of the wolf hadn’t been futile. Jinju had also sensed that it wasn’t the one she had been looking for and thus not paid attention. Her mistake.
One she would not make again. ”Thank you” she eventually replies stiffly. In the silence that follows she studies him. He’s tall, even taller than her – where she had grown past Ruan’s height – and his black coat and red eyes are very much like hers. She reads his eyes without difficulty, almost instinctively. ”You have fire.” It’s not a question, more like a statement. Though one she was eager to hear confirmed as her heart hammered in her chest.
Unlike the black beast before he she had accepted it wholeheartedly. It was a part of her, she had carried the flame with her from her very first breath. A while Jinju hadn’t known what she had lost in the Reckoning, aside from a mother. Once she had gotten it back, though, she had wondered how she couldn’t have missed it. It felt as natural as breathing.
Her preference for the forest – or any foresty area – was something they had in common, but, both had their own reasoning. To Jinju it was home, she felt sheltered here. Very much different from the Jungle where she had once resided, but the feeling was the same. Never it would be an escape.
Or a place to hide. Jinju never wanted to run or hide from her loved ones. She needed them near.
