Shinjirou stares a little while longer, in silence, before he finally opens his mouth. "Yes." The pain in his throat isn't razor sharp like before, but it isn't gone completely. It's dull enough to be bearable, though. And despite not having tested it yet, his hopes are rising that the rest of his body isn't any different.

He licks his lips, trying to gauge whether it's a smarter move to wait for Jade to speak again or to start talking. After spilling a few secrets too many during the night, he isn't exactly trusting himself to make a sensible decision. Instead of saying anything else, he reluctantly stretches beneath the blanket. Not too bad -- his bones are heavy and he does ache, yes -- he manages to shift into a more comfortable position without hurting himself.
