[What a charming young woman this is. Everyone else in Jade's life at the moment seems to so eager to sever ties as soon as they get -- why would this be any different? It's because of those experiences, coupled with her own, that Jade is able to see right through what Kainé is doing. There was a time in which she would have done the same thing...
[These days, it seems that all she does is take it. Never would have pegged herself to be a masochist, but here she is, when she could be on her way back to the city right about now.
[But she doesn't. She can't. At least not to return to the inevitable tasks that are ahead. Instead, she fiddles with the amulet. It may not be a gift, but within contains something... precious. Well, they all do, but this one in particular she keeps close.
[There's a fleeting moment Jade contemplated bringing Zar'Ah out, just to see how Kainé would react. Return the favor she's being given. But Kainé seems like more the "fight" than "flight" type, and Jade has put Zar'Ah through enough lately that she's soon to abandon the notion.]
I'll go whatever pace I feel like, thanks. [Jade just remarks flatly, resting her hands on the straps of her backpack as she steps out under the misty clouds. The chill and the rain feel nice, after being tied up for who knows how long. Despite her choice words, Jade doesn't seem as peeved by Kainé's attitude as she might expect, instead rolling the insults over like water off a duck's feathers.
[Rather, she is bemused when the other woman seems lost. Jade pauses, blinks.]
Hm. Did you misplace your camp, by chance? [There's a tilt of levity in her tone, before it fades.
[She glances towards the main road, leading down a winding path between trees and foliage. There's a moment of hesitation, before she speaks up again.]
So, assuming your camp doesn't decide to return home from the war any minute now... Ark's actually not all that far from here. I've got a small hideout in the Undercity. People don't tend to bother me down there.

[Which is kind of her preference at the moment.]
