[Seeing Alice's reaction, Jade relaxes a bit, though she's still tense now that Rynéus has shown her his Shard. She knew there were other Shard-Bearers who would come looking for it, and especially those that would intend to shatter it, as some would come to shatter the Shards of previous worlds and the worlds to come. It's not the fate she wants for Rynéus, inevitable that it might be.]

If it's what I think it is... then yes. Very important.

[Rynéus frowns as he tucks his necklace into his shirt again. "I think I know a perfect place, but I don't want to go there alone."

[Jade sighs and runs a hand through her bangs.]

Well, if people see all three of us enter someplace by ourselves, they'll definitely know where it is. [She pauses, thinking.] I could try to distract them.
