[Marley]

This place seemed a little too good to be true, and if Jude was being honest with himself then he would admit that he was more cautious than excited as it stood now. He found his gaze studiously taking in the grounds and his attention was only pulled towards the owner when he caught a hand waving at him from his peripheral vision. Maybe he was just in shock that this haven was actually real. He'd been expecting to find nothing, expecting to go back to his journey to God only knows where. He had no specific place in mind to go but he figured with what was going on he probably should have some idea in mind. The haven would certainly work for now, but truthfully he wasn't too sure if he'd stay around or not; not because of the haven itself, no, but because he loathed being a burden. Accepting safe place or not, he had another five or so months before he would be forced to make up his mind. That wasn't a lot of time when he thought about it, considering how fast the previous four months have flown by.

Jude shuffled forward sheepishly, pushing disheveled strands of hair from his face as he listened to the man. He figured he should probably tell them what was up since no one liked surprises, but... he couldn't, not here right now at least. His condition wasn't exactly something he was enthralled about, it had been forced upon him after all, so maybe he'd just tell the owner and keep it from any others until he really noticeably began to show? Hell, maybe he'd just keep it all to himself, he had no idea. He hadn't gotten that far thinking about it yet. Jude couldn't help but note the way the eyes of the man at the front lingered on him momentarily and he kind of hoped he hadn't already been figured out. Not that it would mean much, Jude just didn't want any special treatment or pity. He'd never chosen this.

Attention switched again now towards the taller man of the two beside him, Jude's brows furrowed at the question posed and nodded. "Yeah. It's faster than walking." He shrugged a little. He had the ability to fly so why not use it? Jude knew not everyone was comfortable flying still, so it was probably a good thing he hadn't been stuck with having a partner because he would've flown with them whether they'd wanted to or not. It was faster and more convenient, what wasn't there to love about it? "I would've hated to walk here," he snorted, scratching at the material of his sweater lightly.

Still listening to the one pronounced as Sage speak, Jude had nearly forgotten that he'd yet to introduce himself either. Man, he was tired. When they were finished talking, Jude raised a hand to indicate himself. "I'm Jude," he said evenly, his voice a bit gruff from the days of long travel before.
