“How did you find me?” panted Jude.
“I was swinging in the trees and heard them carrying on. They were easy targets once I traced your location. You can’t wander away by yourself, Jude, you don’t know the jungle’s dangers.”
“I thought I heard your voice. It sounded like you were in trouble, I was coming to help.”
Mowgli smiled and placed a hand on his shoulder.
“I appreciate your loyalty and your growing bravery, but there’s so much about the jungle you don’t know.”
He glanced at the crucifix on Jude’s sweaty, heaving chest.
“You’ve taught me about your world and what they believe there, but while you’re in my world you have to know what we believe. Without that you could die.”
“What you believe?” said Jude with scrunched eyebrows. “You have beliefs?”
“Of course. You don’t think we in the jungle wonder about those kinds of things?”
“But when I spoke to you about God you scoffed at the idea.”
“Not all beliefs involve a god.”
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“That’s because you haven’t let me talk. You told me about your beliefs, but you never asked me about mine.”
Jude hung his head and kicked the ground, stubbing his big toe on an unseen rock. He limped in a circle, wincing.
“Would you like to know something about what we in the jungle believe?”
Shaking his fractured phalange, Jude spoke haltingly.
“Yes, I do….I should.”
“How did you find me?” panted Jude.
“I was swinging in the trees and heard them carrying on. They were easy targets once I traced your location. You can’t wander away by yourself, Jude, you don’t know the jungle’s dangers.”
“I thought I heard your voice. It sounded like you were in trouble, I was coming to help.”
