Hi, um! I'm alive again, in case anyone was worried. Which you shouldn't have been! Everything that happened was my fault and I was kind of dumb, but, you know. If you were.. I really am sorry. I was reckless and that was selfish.

[ Jade's in her room again; she looks fine but certainly sleepy even as she rubs at her eyes with her wrist. ]

So it seems like we're gonna be here for a little while. A little while longer, at least, I guess? So Orihime and I were wondering if anyone wanted to help us work at the restaurant. Sweden's gone, so it's just me and her, and that's kind of a little much, even for the two of us!

If you're interested, would you let one of us know? I really, really love the Highwind, and I don't want to see it go out of business. We can pay you fairly!

Are you mad?

[ She seems worried. ]

...Not angry.

[He's quiet for a while and looks away.]

You're the only one I know that died.

[So, he's sort of secretly angry... at himself mostly.]

[ She's visibly puzzled here. ]

Then shouldn't you be glad?

[Rikus are puzzling creatures.]

...I am.

Then why do you still seem upset?

[ THEY ARE. ]

Because I could have done something so that you wouldn't have died in the first place.

No you couldn't've. That's a dumb way to think.

When I could have healed some wounds or gotten you out of there.

It's not, Jade.

I don't need protecting, and I don't need saving.

And I don't need my friend dying.

And it was your friend's fault, so I don't need you blaming yourself for it.

...Fine.

[He doesn't let go of things this easily and he hasn't, but he'll do it to please her anyways.]

-- Riku.

[ She flips the feed over to private. ]

I really am sorry.

...

Its okay, Jade. Really.

I was stronger than this at home. I need to be stronger.

You and me both.

Do not be beating yourself up over this.

I'm not beating myself up. I just wish it could've gone differently.

[He sighs. Girl, you're being a hypocrite about this.

But he knows where she's coming from.]

...I know.

[ She is, on occasion, a hypocrite. ]

Come to the restaurant when we open up.

I will.

[...]

I don't mean to give you a hard time. Sorry.

Are we still on for Utgard?

[ She's smiling very gently. She doesn't mind the hard time. ]

[He can't help but smile back, even though its faint.]

Yeah, we are.

I knew you wouldn't let me down.

[He chuckles a little helplessly.]

I try not to?

Let me know when you're settled. We'll go on a field trip.
