[While Kainé wanders off to investigate foodstuffs, Jade takes a moment to lean against a large rock, hand pressed to her ribs where the pain still lingers. At the confirmation, she only makes a quiet sound, acknowledging the woman's potential combat prowess, likely leagues superior to her own. There's a reason Jade has taken to her newfound magical skills, opting only to use her daggers when backed into a corner.
[Without warning, a sharp sting shoots through her brain. It's not much unlike the feelings she gets when she's connected to one of her ghosts, or experiencing a vision. Jade lets out a hiss between her teeth, a hand flying to her forehead, pushing aside her bangs.
[And then she hears the voice. Not her own, not Kainé's, but someone else entirely. Male. Snide. Cruel. It's not sound in her ears so much as it is in her soul, not much unlike her connection to the lost echoes she's collected.
[Cradling her head in both hands, she groans, the voice not going away so long as it persisted in Kainé's head as well.
[Eventually, Jade snaps, throwing her hands from her face, a particularly wild and manic flame in her eyes.]
Hey, what the fuck? [She sounds harsher than she meant to be, but only because she's genuinely disconcerted now. If it weren't for the fact that Kainé was seemingly talking to someone, Jade would be quicker to wonder if she was losing her sanity all over again.] I thought you said you were alone?
[Technically, Kainé made no such claim. But try reasoning with a splitting ache tearing through her brain -- it won't work out.]
