Whatever Jade was expecting, an actual response was not it. She flinches back, almost slipping down over the cliff again before she catches herself this time.

"Oh, shit."

More questions just swim about in her head, as she tries to make sense of this situation. Does this have something to do with the way this particular soul seems so... unique compared to the others Jade has picked up?

After a moment, mortification sinks in. "For how long...?"

How long has she just been having one-sided conversations with this spirit, not realizing that she was actually paying attention?
