"I'll find you something." Picking out something suitable for Shinjirou would be a challenge, but surely he has some old books or magazines lying around... Even if he can't think of any off-hand.
Then the topic suddenly changes, and he frowns slightly, more startled than he'd like to admit. His fingers curl around the glass. With a comment like that, Shinjirou must have enjoyed the experience. That's good, Jade supposes, it's what he had been aiming for after all. And it's even better that Shinjirou can't compare him to anyone; that might dilute the impact of the lesson.
At the same time, Jade finds himself wondering if he had gone too far. He has no control group to measure himself against, nothing to tell him how people usually went about things or how his technique could be improved.
...And he should probably be feeling guilty for taking so much from Shinjirou, but he doesn't, and that disturbs him more than anything else.
"I thought your seller would have whipped you," he comments, opting for a more neutral approach. "Or did he not want to damage his merchandise?"
