[Just tossing this out, I made a request to wizard requesting that Jacque had been housed by Johnathan about two days prior to the latest attack. Hence my post mentioning him being as grateful to John as he currently is.]

Jacque scowled deeply at Jay who'd began to pester him, "Piss off maggot." he hissed contemptuously before walking around the younger man and storming towards where the others had gathered. Brutus stopped, sniffed Jay, then licked the Papilio's leg affectionately before running off after his owner. The looks on everyone's faces as he'd joined the group told Jacque everything he'd needed to know about what had transpired just moments ago. The fuckers had FED on the fallen, the idea of such a thing made the pit of Jacque's stomach boil and burn like acid as he tried to come to terms with his rage. Most of what Jacque currently heard was the blood rushing through his ears, however through the steady throbbing, he vaguely made out what Johnathan had told the group, picking out the fact that space and resources were limited. "As if this is anything most of us aren't used to..." Jacque muttered under his breath. Brutus only whined and lay at his owner's feet, feeling distressed by the tension that hung thick in the air within the cave.
