Weird? He wants to know more, but he's wary of saying too much in front of his associate.
"I'll try. See you in a few minutes."
He hangs up. Now comes the difficult part: deciding what he should say, and how much. In the end, he decides to just say his slave had been up to something unexpected and hope that Shinjirou had managed to free himself by the time they get there.
So perhaps he deserves it when his associate takes one look at Shinjirou, then snarls, "What the fuck, Curtiss."
"Jade," he corrects, eyes narrowed, but the damage had been done. He doesn't give Shinjirou any time to think about it. Mindful of his earlier warning, Jade keeps some distance between them as he crouches down so they're eye-to-eye. This close, he can't hide the faint smell of smoke and burning that clings to his clothes, but he trusts Shinjirou has other things on his mind.
"My my, you've gotten yourself into quite a mess." A pause, and he adds, "It's alright, you can talk."
