As Jairo walked deeper into the camp he saw a lot more grown men. some were walking around to spar or watch others spar, most were sitting down and gossiping while others did acrobatic tricks moving quickly pat a few of the men who had just returned with fresh food and supplies.
All seemed to give way to a few of the men on Giant dire wolves however. Jairo saw Caspian lazily walking around and discussing with one of the other seemingly high ranking members of this...Camp?
Either way, it painted a clear enough picture of the top dogs in his mind.
Ignoring them, he saw a few of the younger boys trying to get advice from one of the older soldiers. One seemed to indulge him, but from the look of his peers, the move he was being taught was either quite basic or just plain useless.
They turned away and hid their smirks. As Jairo walked passed he sighed. 'I don't have the heart to tell him.' He didn't care. He walked past the young boy and saw a Bunch of wolves crowding this one area. Was there any doubt that a fight was taking place?
Jairo saw many men training and sparring in a pit where a few more surrounded them and watched. Jairo thought to try and get in, but dropped it. He heard a punching noise rang out as a man tumbled through all the bystanders before landing three feet in front of him.
As Jairo looked down in shock he wondered what could make a man this motivated to knock someone out. "how much debt could you owe a person?"
the mans head snapped up at him as he stared confused. "What?"
Jairo looked down at him and the two men awkwardly stared at each other for a brief moment.
After noticing how long it had been, Jairo collected himself. "Excuse me sir, can you point me in the direction of a tent so that I can get some rest?"
The man made an angry expression. As he stopped looking at Jairo and seemed to ignore his question.
'Rude bastard.'
That was all Jairo could think to call him before he was pounced upon by his opponent. The werewolf on top was slightly bigger, but clearly the better combatant.
he looked up at Jairo with an arrogant glint in his eyes. "don't worry about him, he's just a little angry."
he then pointed his face in the direction of the unused tents. he looked to see them over to his far left.
"you should find a spot over there. they are mostly empty except for a few young boys who are already taking up space. If you see them, say hello."
his lack of focus was costing him, as his enemy delivered a gut punch that sent him rolling.
Jairo nodded, a smile formed on his face. "thank you. I will!"
He would not. but he was just as excited as anyone that he had gotten to finally lay down. He was about to turn around, when the man began speaking again. "hey." he said, causing Jairo to turn around.
this time that was holding his enemy in a chokehold, while looking at Jairo with a deathly serious expression. His eyes went wider than expected and his brows furrowed.
"the tent you will use belongs to a soldier who is out fighting right now. Do not think to use or misplace anything or you will suffer for it."
as creeped out as he was, Jairo simply nodded his head. "I understand. I will not touch anything." he then pointed at themas in his arms. "You are choking him more than you should be."
the man looked down to find that his enemy was losing breath. the moment he let go, he shootout from his arms, breathing in heavy breaths.
Jairo quickly turned around once more, not intending to be kept.
more steps led him to a large amount of tents, just over twenty in total. they were big enough to hold at least a few people per tent
there were more then twenty spread out and three of them seemed to have people inside just from what he could see.
Jairo let his feet drag him to the nearest one that didn't have anyone inside. as he walked in, he saw the rather spacious area.
he saw small makeshift beds made of straw, to the far left he saw a necklace made of bone as well as a small toy that resembled a beetle.
as curious as he was, he lay down and curl into a ball before laying on one of the beds. 'Ariel...what are you doing now? Hope you're not missing me too much.'
Who was he kidding? he wasn't sure how any of this was going too go, but he needed to make it work and so he would. Harken and Nero had no need to worry. Maribel seemed like the type to know a lot.
"What the hell are you all dealing with? Probably something I'm not important enough to know."
as he stared at the tent ceiling all he could do was imagine their faces, still staring at him with confident grins knowing they were about to school him on the next thing to come.
He looked up at them with the calmest face he could muster, as though they were seeing him now. "Don't worry, Ill be back before you know it."
