It will be an interesting realization, certainly. As he'd mentioned to someone else, it's a strange feeling being the ignorant newbie for once, though Jade has been diligently working on changing the "ignorant" part.
"What a shame," Jade says with a sigh. "Though really, if all you're interested in is keeping your test subjects alive, there's no need to bother giving them anything fancy to eat, anyway. From another perspective, what the administrators are doing is the most efficient possible way of keeping us functional." So that they can, by all accounts, rearrange their bodies and psyches, but even Jade the Necromancer preferred live test subjects. After all, he was, in his indiscreet youth, working on overturning death.
The implications of that in his current context is not one he'll allow himself to contemplate. Between that and what Lorelei told him, though, sooner or later it won't matter what Jade allows.
The wary look is duly noted. Jade pretends not to notice it, though he doubt Asch is fooled. "Monsters, too?" he says instead. "That's unfortunate. I'll keep that in mind."
If this spear is only an illusion, then he'll have to fetch himself a real one--not to mention figure out just how strong the local monsters are. Hm. Perhaps he'll go hunting after all.
Asch mentions friends. Jade's eyebrows rise. "Friends, huh?" he says, irony ringing in his tone--but the rest of what he says is too important to (completely) derail with a jab. This is particularly so when the glamour flickers for a breath, giving the fonist a good look at what's under the illusion, before it turns back on.
He does get the idea. However, rather than being concerned or disturbed or anything any normal person might feel, Jade is... smiling. Grinning, even. He looks utterly amused.
He does not volunteer what it is he think is so funny.
Haha and now it's my turn to take forever, weekdays are always bad for me
