[It really is quite rare for Tear to actively take up this tone with an authority figure--at least quite so promptly and openly as this, anyway, with no pretense whatsoever. Not that Jade has ever expected or demanded that she afford him any more deference than she would anyone else, of course--it's more a standard she clearly actively holds herself to, a consequence of her early upbringing among rank and file. Still, of all the extenuating circumstances she'd be breaking this habit under...he just. Hadn't thought. It'd involve the conservation of a rappig onesie.]

The--the Imperial Palace had other things to be fond of besides rappigs... [A note of exasperation, about here. --Though it's sure a testament to their friendship, especially of late upon this ship, that Jade's only feeling exasperated about having this tidbit of 'mementos from home' thrust upon him quite like this. If that were a line coming from literally anyone else, it'd be warranting quite the acerbic retort. ...But it's Tear, and...

Indeed, ever since the memories they'd both ended up sharing before the Sparkles incident, a slight shift has settled in between them. Just a bit less professional, and a bit more personal. Hardly the sort of thing Jade would ever go out of his way to actively acknowledge, but.

Apparently one of the boons of an increased friendship level is increased tolerance of even the most ludicrous arguments, as it turns out.]


We both know the probability of those other scenarios isn't exactly high...but-- [Here, another sigh. Frowning up at him like that! What's he supposed to do about that?? He could shoot her down bluntly and promptly, yes, and yet what he finds himself reluctantly saying instead is:] --it is not a waste if it's not getting thrown out.

[...]

...So I suppose, that means, that I won't be...

[...Is this what the struggles of friendship feel like sometimes.........]

[Jade meets Tear's wide-eyed gaze with an expression that could--quite honestly, and frankly, only be described as sheepish. Which doesn't suit the usual expressions on his face at all, probably...but that's fine, because it's only allowed to be fully visible for a half second or so, before Jade's turning away to scan the deck about them instead for a moment.

You know. For any witnesses. To all this, just now. ...Seems they're in the clear, though--]


One never knows when it comes to the excursions in this place, I suppose. [He's trying so hard not to sound too long-suffering here. He really is! ...Though it can't help but seep in a bit anyway, after another beat.] --Really, though, must you look so surprised? You ought to at least be confident in an argument well-won. Come now, Tear, do try to seem at least a bit more victorious about this...

[Because it was totally the Power of her Arguments (about infeasible uses for animal onesies) that won out this particular little clash. Definitely that, and not at all the fact that Tear is a dear friend and maybe also had surprise on her side, and Jade hadn't known what else to do in the face of her very sudden and unexpected passion for rappig memorabilia.....

Jade folds his arms, some last-ditch attempt at retaining an at least somewhat business-like air in all this.]


Besides that. In any case. I'm almost positive that--costume isn't going to fit you, so I'll have to store it in my own closet for the interim. ...If you've any interest in those items inside it, however, you're quite free to take your pick of them. If you'd like. [He's never going to need that many rappig-themed journals in his life, after all!!]
