[ Jade is seated away from most of the dressing room's guests. his eyes are glued to the pages of the book. he seems entirely consumed, detached from what is going on around him, and easily interrupted... ]

...what are you reading?

Nothing of importance.

[ the book is closed with a "clop". ]

How are your artes?

[He looks at the book, maybe he can read the title?] They're okay... not so good. I get tired to quickly from practice...

[ the book seems to be a regular one, handwritten notes on the pages. it's messy handwriting too, like a child's. ]

Are you sick?

[He looks curious about it but won't ask anymore about it.]

A little... it hasn't gone away completely.

That would affect it.

[ stands, book held firmly in his hand. ]

Don't strain yourself.

...I know not to, but I am not sure how to recover completely... even so I think I've progressed enough with Icicle Rain...

Really? Can you show me?

Yes, Master Jade. We should go outside for this.

*pops up behind him, peering over his shoulder at the book he's reading.*

[ his eyes never leave the pages. seems he has nothing to hide... ]

Curiosity killed the cat, you know.

*jumps slightly at the sound of his voice, moving to stand beside him.*

Those who aren't curious don't learn, either.

Your death would teach many not to sneak up behind me.

My death would result in a frenzied Asch gutting for your head.

My "gut" is not my head.

...whatever. You know what I mean.

I do.

[ lets the book fall to his lap, no longer held in his hand. the writing inside is scribbling, like a child's handwriting. ]

What are you up to these days?

*stares at the book, trying to read the writing.* Same as always. Trying to stay out of trouble and look after all the kids around here. How about you? What are you reading?
