Disclaimer: Guess whos back, back again!
When he fell into the dark eco he thought that he was surely going to die. From then on he sat on Jak's shoulder, in hope that he found find something…someone that would love him as this furball that he was now, love him as a real person not just some pet.
He hummed a song that he had heard on the radio today; it was a pretty song, by Haven Liar. His fingers rested on the bar, impatient he tapped his claws against the hard surface. He needed to see his buddy, the one that had never left him, no matter what. Him and Tess had been in a big fight just yesterday, and he desperately needed to talk to someone that would listen. A wild grin lit up his face as Jak entered the bar, not his of course, Tess had kicked him out. He pounced on Jak, landing on his perch, even with the war over he still wore the pauldren.
"She left me, told me it was all my fault that she's like this now."
He wasn't even pretending to be the happy-go-lucky ottsel that he had spent years creating, so no one would see the hurt that he felt every time someone called him a rat.
"Damnit, I'm so sick of this! If I hadn't fallen into that fucking eco I wouldn't be in this mess, precursors be damned."
'Someone, save me, I'm confused and hurt, I just want to go die under a rock. Then Tess would be happy'
He hated himself for making her like this. Jak let a gloved had rest on Daxters back, gently rubbing between his shoulder blades. He treated Dax to the drinks and was now dealing with a very affectionate drunken ottsel.
"Please, I'm sick of being strong. Just show me what I'm lookin for. I'm lost and confused as hell!"
He winced at the drunken voice of his best bud. A small grim passed in a moment as he continued to listen to the modified lyrics of Haven Lair's hit song.
"Who needsh Tessh anyway!"
That's right thought Jak. Just me and him again.
Not really the song that I had planned for Dax, but oh well. I'm back. Song is by Carolina liar.
