Jade's calm and that's good. Jade won't take away is lifeline either and that's even better. There's little to no reason to be agitated, but Shinjirou is and can't shake it off. Curiously, the touch doesn't make him flinch. Eyelids drooping, he nods. Can't even sigh in relief.
"Yeah, a lot better. Bit worn out." His mind is no longer in shambles and while the bruises are bad, they're bearable. "Sorry for causing trouble. Didn't mean to. Guess I underestimated how much, uhm. Attention I'd get."
Physically and mentally draining, it had been a tougher job than expected -- thanks to that asshole. Or, yeah, rather his reaction to the guy. It's his own fault. Part of him still wants to blame someone else. "But you still got what you wanted, right?"
