He loved this spot, well, being near the ocean that is. It was somewhat distracting at moments, diverting his attention to the water every now and then when the breeze carried a strong scent. He sat himself down on his rear to firmly secure him to that spot. If he continued to kneel or be in a position he could dash off easily, he wasn’t sure if he’d be too tempted to run or dive into the water. He was ignoring the desire to move about. This was too important to interrupt with running and romping.
“Yeah, I’m always exploring lately. When I first came here, I looked around but mostly stayed to the beach. Now I’m all over the place and running everywhere. Literally. This body was built to run and it’s really hard to deny that feeling. It’s awesome pushing your body as hard as you can to get up to a good speed.” Jordan grinned, quite proud of himself. “Going through the jungle, without a care, dodging and weaving trees, jumping over the obstacles in my way.” Jordan’s tail wagged at his daredeviltry. So far he hadn’t gotten injured with his reckless abandon.
“Uhm… what were we talking about..?” he scratched the back of his neck, embarrassed to lose himself in his canine revelry, with a nervous chuckle “Oh yeah! The cliffs seem to be a good spot. It’s kind of at the edge of nowhere, seriously. The cliffs overlook what I can guess is the southern? edge of the island. You have to go through the jungle to get there, but it couldn’t be any further from the labs. It’s a good hike for me from here, so you wanna prepare yourself for a good walk and might want to make a day trip out of it.”

"I'm inclined to disagree about pushing your body as hard as it goes to be fun," He grinned. "But I believe you. If you wanna run around like a psycho, and it's not harming anyone, go for your life." He paused, thinking for a moment. "Though I find it odd that I haven't smelled you around the place."
"I'll have to check it out," He said as he rose to his feet. "Anyway, I should be off. I'm getting hungry and I should take a nap this afternoon before wandering around again this evening. I'll check it out and come back here when I've found a spot to begin digging. That sound good to you?"

Jordan couldn't help but laugh. He was acting like he had when he was younger, indulging in his athletic prowess. It was showing off as much as anything, but he was pushing himself to achieve physical heights. “I’m making the change for the better. I don’t want to hurt anyone else in the name of the labs.” The Samoyed extended his big fluffy white paw. “Friends?” he smiled, showing off those elongated canines in the friendliest of smiles.

It seemed genuine enough. But this could end either well, or very badly. If Jordan was truthful in regretting what the labs were doing, he would be distrusting and shunning a potential ally - which was entirely stupid. On the other paw, if this was a ruse and Jordan was just trying to gain his trust, if Seth gave too much away, he was basically giving his plans away to the labs themselves. He felt awkward. Like he was between a rock and a hard place. This could either go very well, or very badly, and he wished he knew what to do.
Jordan would be pissed to hear that Seth was trying to use him before, to obtain contraband supplies from the labs. He would also be pissed off to hear that Seth had been intending to use him to dig the hole. But if he was genuine, he could be let in on the tunneling plan, perhaps even land a very useful paw in it. Or six, judging by the looks of what he was turning into.
Seth pinned his ears back and sighed in resignation. He reached out with his paw and took Jordan's in his, shaking it.
"Sure thing, friends." He grinned after a moment. Though he couldn't quite hide the fact he was troubled. "I'll let you know as soon as I find a digging spot." He broke off the hand shake and began to move away.
"See ya around, then?"

He was in the dark about Seth’s plans. He remained unaware there was any attempt to use him against the labs. As far as Jordan knew, there was just that plan to erect a statue and his fervor for that was waning for the project. Jordan would now find himself in a very precarious position from here out. He could be used against the labs, as he was beginning his dissent and that left him as a target for Moreau, any of the lab techs, Lauren. He knew this meant turning his back on the protection of the labs and making powerful enemies if they learned of Jordan's treason. The terror of Feral Labs had lain dormant in his mind just as those wriggling paws had remained trapped within his belly for weeks, scratching and kicking to be released, so was released the other side of Jordan. The part of him who knew this was wrong.
Being forced to inject himself, his body distorting further from human had delivered a shock to his system. Jordan had chosen to enter dangerous territory by announcing his dismay of the laboratories and for their work. This bold move would prove to work in his favor or destroy him in the end.
He’d hoped that Seth wasn’t regretting this as he watched the ears flatten, but assured himself he was still wary from previous encounters. That made sense. He’d just have to prove he wasn’t screwing with him this time.
Jordan smiled at those words. He’d turned an enemy into a friend and Jordan felt he was on the right path now. “Sure thing. I’ll be around.”
Jordan casually waved to Seth as he began to move away.
