[Honestly, he should have noticed someone coming over sooner. It's quiet enough that the approaching clack of Tear's heels on the deck could have been plenty audible, even over the waves below. But, it would seem, there's quite a lot on Jade's mind at this particular moment. Enough so--
--That when Tear speaks up he actually starts in place, nearly dropping the thing over his shoulder anyhow. Automatic reflex has him grabbing at it as he turns around; some kind of brown and fuzzy texture is visible in the gloom. ...Spots? Something almost like rabbit ears, flopping back??
Jade, realizing who it is approaching, promptly steps away from the rail...and also, promptly, tries to fold the bulky object under one of his arms instead. Which would look a lot as if he were trying to hide something, if he were ever the sort of person to do such a thing. But he's not! Totally!! As they both know...!!!
(Holding it under his arm like that does lend it physics that don't actually seem to be a human body's, at least. More like some kind of large article of clothing, maybe....)]
Oh--Tear. It's rather late. I thought I'd take a walk to-- [Hold on. The automatic excuse grinds to an abrupt halt, as her question's actually sinking in now, and he blinks.] --hmm? Throwing someone overboard?
[JADE HOW ELSE DID YOU THINK THIS WOULD LOOK.............]
