[Eyes closed so as to better focus on his voice, Jade listens. It isn't until Dimitri mentions certain things that her brows furrow a bit.
[Prince. King. Nobility. Maybe he said something about it sooner and she was too distracted to notice, or maybe he kept it to himself. Dimitri wouldn't be the first she's met who felt that way.
[Once he's finished, the question blurts out:]

[Look, she's starting with the most digestible part.]
Sorry. I just, er... yeah. [Words probably aren't necessary to know that she's sympathetic, but one thing at a time. After all, it's not too much unlike what Jespar had told her, what had happened to his family -- and he even came from similar origin. The only reason she never negged him over it was because he never used his status to make himself feel superior to her, and... Well, Jade liked that about him.
[Dimitri doesn't strike her as the type who would abuse titles, either. Maybe that's why he didn't introduce himself by his when they first met.]
