Jude noticed the way Thorn was pulled away from him by Sage, and his gaze briefly flicked towards the other bearing the skull; he wanted to say something but he knew it wasn't any of his business. He wasn't really here to make friends anyways, he just needed a decent place to stay until he could figure his situation out. Still, the way Sage had turned the pegasus away from Jude made him a bit uncomfortable and somewhat self-conscious. Was casual conversation going to be a thing he'd have to avoid with Thorn? He'd have to remind himself of that, no need to get in unnecessary trouble. Even then, however, he might have to speak to Thorn again sometimes. If there was anything they could relate over it was that they were kind of in the same species family, to some extent. Jude offered a small smile back when Thorn gave him one. Alright, well, he wasn't a nuisance yet. That was always a plus.
Sometimes Jude was thankful he didn't have a partner with him, but it'd be a lie to say his travels hadn't been lonely... and unnerving. If only he'd known for sure that this place had existed beforehand, he might have teamed up with some of the others that escaped from the ranch those two weeks ago and came here with them. Or... maybe not. If they were being sought after, splitting up might have been the best possible route to have gone. It didn't much matter now, Jude was in the company of others so he could set those worries aside.
When the younger girl came out, Jude followed suit and waved a bit to her. He watched the interaction between her and the owners for a moment. He'd never really been around children too much. Jude himself had been an only child, and most of his old friends back home had all been singletons. He didn't know if he was even good with them or not since he hadn't much experience with them, but he'd definitely have the chance to work on that soon enough.
Jude nodded towards Halo, giving a grateful "thank you" after Sage was finished. He wasn't a man of many words but he was generous and honest, and even if it didn't seem like it, Jude thought this place would be like heaven for as long as he could stay. "I don't mean to jump right into things but, uh, do you guys have a bathroom close by..?" He made a casual hand gesture. "I'm just feeling a little sick." Jude had been praying the churning sensation in his stomach would vanish but it'd been present since he'd started his flight to the haven earlier - the only difference now was that he didn't need to run off into the woods somewhere to find a suitable place to heave his breakfast. A bathroom would be preferable, obviously. Prolonged morning sickness or maybe bad food, Jude was hoping it was the latter right about now.
(Whaat your reply isn't short! xd I feel like mine are short lmao )
