[Jade isn't sure she believes these kids will be allowed to grow up devoid of strife. After seeing what little she did of the situation with the humans, hearing them talk about what happened to their parents...
[Well, it seems they've suffered enough. But the least she can do is make sure that they don't endure a worse fate than the one they've been given already.

I, um... I don't think I'm very hungry. [She keeps her voice low so only Dimitri can hear, not wanting to offend their young hosts.]
