Jack held the sides of her face, wiping her tears with his thumbs. "Listen to me. You're not weak, worthless, stupid, any of that." his eyes flickered over her face, buying himself a little time while he thought of what he wanted to say. "You're a… pretty, delicate woman who has a..caring and sensitive personality. That doesn't make you weak at all." At least I don't think it does.
Ben had been wandering around, still looking for some enjoyment, when he happened upon the girl from earlier. Jayden was it? The one who had been drawing. "Is everything okay?" he asked, something seemed off with her.
Jayden looked at Ben knowing her eyes must have been slightly red from crying but she didn't care he didn't seem to be one to judge emotions "Hey just being depressed"
"Why?" Ben asked innocently, sitting next to her. He tilted his head to the side a little and looked up at the girl with wide eyes.
Jayden whispered sadly but didn't say much "Family issues"
I walk back and I see Daze and Ej talking and I hide on the other side of the tree and I try to listen
Daze whimpered softly. "No I'm not… I'm a monster…. I'm not supposed to be alive…" she sniffled and leaned her cheek into EJ's hand, trying to soak up what comfort there was.
"You're not a monster." Jack sighed, rubbing her cheek softly. "We are all here for a reason, we are all supposed to be alive." He tried to smile, but it probably looked odd. "I mean, look at Ben. If he wasn't alive, who would haunt video games? Slender and LJ, if they weren't around then who would mess with children?" he paused, realising what he had said. "Okay that last one sounded better in my head. My point is, we are all here for a reason, most of us, myself included, are still just trying to find that reason. But it's there, I know it is, and yours is too."
Daze sniffled again, but her tears were drying up. "Ok…. D-did I make you mad… earlier..?"
"No." Jack lied, still gently rubbing her cheeks. "I'm just hungry, and that creature thing distracted you from what could have been the most amazing hunt I've had in a while." A lopsided smile grew on his lips as he shrugged. "So, if anything, it was that dog thing that made me mad. Not you."
Daze sniffed. "I'm sorry… I shouldn't have gotten distracted so easily… We can keep going… i-if you still want to hunt with me anyway…"
"Of course I do." Jack nodded, helping Daze up. He would never turn down an opportunity to get food. His stomach growled audibly and he figured it was time to get a move on. "Did you still want to take the lead?"
Daze tilted her head. "Unless you can smell human…"
(I'll be right back)
(k)
my ears twitch and I climb up into the tree and I look down at Daze and EJ
Exhaling softly, the creature started to shift and morph into a more human shape.
Daze's gaze flickered to the creature as it straightened up.
He looked back at Daze and EJ, ears flattening to the sides of his head in regret. He hadn't meant to make enemies so quickly..
Daze glanced at EJ painfully before looking back at the wolf creature. She wanted to bring him along badly, but EJ seemed to have a disliking to him. She started sniffling again. She tended to cry when something wasn't computing in her brain.
The branch I was holding on to breaks and I hold on to the tree and the branch falls behind Daze
He raised his hand, fingers moving rapidly in patterns.

Jerking back, he rounded on the fallen branch with his upper lip curling into a faint snarl.
Daze turned in surprise to see Death fall to the ground. "Death! Are you okay!?" She grabbed the wolf thing's hand an tugged him with her gently as she went over to Death.
the clone disappears and I am holding on to another branch and I lift myself up and I try to slow my breathing
Flinching for a moment, he then eased up as he signed.

The man- Drynn- paused, then continued.
