He stands his ground, observing Shinjirou's actions, trying to gauge where he would land his first blow. If he would. He seems to be holding himself back, stepping away instead of trying to crowd into Jade's personal space. There's also the dog in between them - surely Shinjirou wouldn't hurt something he had been hugging and cooing over just a few minutes ago?
For a moment, Jade is quiet, wondering if he should back down peacefully. But he can't just follow Shinjirou's commands; that would cause him to be seen as weak, and he can't afford that.
"I shouldn't have to compensate for your deficiencies," Jade says coolly. This situation will have to be resolved someday; it might as well be today, when he hasn't invested as much time and effort into Shinjirou as he could have.
He's still hoping that this could be resolved peacefully. Perhaps if he turns Shinjirou's anger and loathing against himself...
