[It's still strange to think that there are nobles out there who don't act entitled to be waited on hand and foot by those deemed "beneath" them. That's always been Jade's experience with their ilk, at any rate. And while she knows it hasn't changed her opinion on nobility entirely, she doesn't immediately bristle at Dimitri's title. If anything, it reminds her of the way Jespar tried to shrug it off when she had first asked him about his heritage.
[In any other situation, she might tease Dimitri about it, like she did Jespar from time to time. But even Jade can read a room, even when she tries to keep it light. And the vigilant shadows don't help make her any less on edge as she tries her damnedest to ignore them.
[Taking a drink from the water and gripping the cloak over her shoulders, Jade nods.]
Thanks for telling me, anyways. I figured you weren't just talking outta your ass when you were acting all empathetic about it. Living through shit like that is... hard.
[Their situations aren't entirely the same -- but if she's going to be dumping her shit onto anyone, it helps to commiserate. Somehow.]
