It's easier to look at Jade now that they're on the same level. And Jade looks happy. Sighing, Shinjirou drops the smile and spaces out for a few seconds during which all he does is stare at the floor. Still, he is listening to Jade and his words make sense, just not immediately. When they finally do, he blinks and nods. Water, good old water. That'd be great.

It'd also be great to be free again. Crawling around like a captured bird has been an exciting experience, but now he desperately wants to cover himself. Not to hide from Jade. Mostly from himself.
