[Jade's senses were, in fact, not normal. She wasn't superhuman or anything, but she'd long since trained her hearing to be sharper to make up for her half vision.
[Due to this, a pang of empathy hits, as Jade more than understands the hungry nights spent on cold floors. There have been days, sometimes weeks she'd gone without a sufficient meal. At this point, it doesn't even always register that she's hungry, much like she is now, her stomach twisting.
[Jade half-expected someone else to appear, but so far it seems to be just the two of them, and that's odd...
[Well, no, not really. It's not like she hasn't known people more than capable of taking on a whole group of assailants on their own. It's just rare, though. Even Jade herself has limits to what she can do solo, hence the crude amulet she wears around her neck... The soul bound to it and herself had gotten her out of many binds, when her hands are free to summon them -- a condition she had been deprived of when she had her hands tied behind her back.]

[It probably comes as no surprise just how light she is when Kainé helps to hold up the beanpole of a woman, that she nearly flings her. It's no wonder that those hunters were able to cart her around as though she were mere cargo -- in a way, she was.
[More than relieved to be spared from such a fate, Jade opts to keep the goading of her savior to a minimum. Especially when she's able to get a good look at the chaos of the camp made around her, namely all the bodies left in the other woman's wake. As Kainé goes to inspect the loot, there's a chest by the dying campfire with crates of vegetables and fruit -- likely stolen from caravans traversing the King's Mountain Pass.]
Ah, you did this all by yourself?
