Summary: Part 48 of Jaken's Ballad.
Quickly dressing back into his freshly dried clothes, Jaken followed after his lord without a single word being passed between them. As he silently thought about it, he was both happy and saddened by the fact that the two of them already seemed to be close enough to not need words to convey their thoughts or wishes.
He knew by a simple look if his lord wished to stop for the night and his lord seemed to know when he was getting hungry without having to ask, as he always instructed him to 'wait here' just as he began to fear his stomach would growl.
These reasons made him happy, but at the same time it reminded Jaken of the last demon he did not need words to communicate with. While he had never been what you would call a loner, Jaken had very few demons he allowed to get closed to him. He was simply a private toad and since he was a tad pole newly hatched from his mother's egg, it had only been his egg twin that he was close with.
Only Mugoi had ever known what was on his mind without Jaken having to tell him, only his brother knew his deepest secrets and greatest fears. Only he knew of Jaken's dreams for the future. He had been Jaken's best friend and he had betrayed him. Now, being reminded of the past, Jaken began to wonder if it would indeed repeat itself.
Note: I'm actually a few hours late posting this so if it's too late to count it in the voting, that's fine :). Just figured it was worth a shot since you hadn't posted the voting thread yet.
