A frown twisted on Jade's lips as she watched the hooded figure of Strazio stalk off across the Nexus. That grumpy dude sure was something. Not something particularly good, but he could probably be forgiven just by association with the virtually nuclear kindness of Valerie. Besides, now that he had up and sauntered away, there was absolutely no reason why they couldn't begin their expedition straightaway!
Jade lightly patted Grundy's arm, her hand coming away sticky and wet after touching the majorly old, grody suit. It might have been a groovy, real shin-diggy suit many years ago, but it was pretty clearly past its prime. She stared at the offending limb for a moment, resolving to test it in her lab later instead of wiping the gunk off on her nice skirt.
Well. Time to go, then! Right after she figured out just who these random randomers randoming around their group were all about.
"Alright, well," she said, eyes straying down towards where some random guy had flopped over and onto the ground, apparently unconscious. How weird. "Anyways...."
She looked at Karkat real quick out of the corner of her eye, totally on the sly with unprecedented amounts of low-brim fedora sneakiness. The short, dark-haired bundle of nerves and colorful swears was far too busy glaring after Rockwell to notice, his teeth bared in a furious sneer and his shoulders braced for a fight. It only took her a few seconds more to connect the dots.
"No way," Jade said, stepping into the cherry-blooded troll's line of sight, arms crossed firmly over her chest. "I know what you're thinking, Karkat, and it isn't a good idea. It will never be a good idea. Right, Valerie?"
The green-robed mage made a noncommittal sound halfway between a sigh and a disappointed ho-hum. He was clearly still hung up on the whole electric boogaloo tantrum thing. Jade had hoped going on a trip to the Frozen Fields would brush away all these kinds of saddening things, but it just kind of figured they would end up getting all bummed out in the interim.
Jade made to reach out and provide some form of comfort when a guy with a set of real snazzy headphones wandered up and began speaking to her. As a fellow appreciator of exceptional headgear, Jade felt that she might just get along swimmingly with the new person!
"Hi, Jams! I'm Jade Harley, it's nice to meet you! Is that... is that Everstorm guy O.K.?" She lifted up a bit into the air in flight, peering questioningly over at the unconscious person who could, apparently, create fire balls at the drop of a hat.
Welp. He certainly was.... unconscious. Jade's red-slippered feet returned to the ground with a light, faintly scratchy pap. That was settled, then.
But there was another person they were supposed to be looking out for, right? nomadicNeutrality! Jade's ears flicked upwards as she thought on that a little more. So much had happened, it was so easy to forget something big, glaringly obvious, decked all out in armor....
A smile twitching upon the corners of her mouth, Jade whirled around to face the rather familiar armored fellow. "A-ha! Hi, nomadicNeutrality! That's you, right? How do you do?" Huh. Wasn't this the guy that Adam had dueled in the Colosseum?
