JUDE
There are many things he cannot expect to happen during his travels and this is perhaps one of them. From the waters appears another individual who calls out a greeting to him. Jude pauses his pep talk and then looks out into the ocean to take in the stranger. She was unsurprisingly taller than him it seemed, but it is something he’s all too accustom to at this point.. Not that being small ever particularly bothered him. He can sense the hesitance from Mittens even when the stranger greets the cat, not something others often do but it cant help but tickle Jude in just the right place.
“H-he-hello,” Jude responds, managing to raise his voice enough to be heard. “Um.. She says hi to.” He murmurs. Don’t speak for me Mittens huffs through their bond but he decides against adding that to the conversation at hand. He gently flicks the cat with the tip of his thickly plumed tail before turning his eyes back to the stranger.
His eyes drift out towards the ocean. Jude can remember the gentle rocking of the tide as it carried him far from Vectaeryn, chasing a daydream and obsession. Funny how fruitless the adventure turned out to be. He listens to the gentle caress of the waves against the sand and he cannot help but let loose a long sigh. Part of him wishes for the ocean to carry him home again, to return to his family and his home. He misses it and he’d risk his venture five times over just to see the face of his family again.. But here he is, hundreds of miles from home standing on the shoreline with nothing but wistful thoughts.
“There are endless things off the horizon,” Jude says with a soft voice, “the ocean can carry you to an endless list of possibilities.” He then looks towards the filly and hesitates for a moment before speaking again. “My name is Jude.. That’s Mittens.” He glances at the cat who has found a log to sit upon daintily.
