What's all this then? It's pretty unexpected, I have to say. If this is what I've been missing out on, I'll have to start sneaking out of the Palace again.

[he looks around idly, seeming pretty calm and unmoved by it all. He's just chill and almost pleasantly so]

Still, as nice as the scenery is, pulling people into Machines isn't something to be taken lightly. Grand experiments like this without the consent of the test subjects aren't something I can condone. I might have to talk to some people. Hopefully there aren’t any idiots I know getting themselves mixed up in anything they shouldn't be. It would be a hassle to have to clean up someone else's mess again.

[a sigh that's somewhere between annoyed and unamused. He crosses his arms over his chest, and if there was a throne somewhere he'd take a seat. Oh well, he'll just look around expectantly]

So how about someone come out and tell me how to get out of this place? While the look of the place and the new surroundings are great, being trapped too long in one place would be annoying.

[he nods, acknowledging Jade made the right choice]

Man, between how careless that Asch guy is and how dangerous the people bringing us here sound, it's going to be a hell of a lot of work keeping up with all these unpredictable forces.

Perhaps Your Majesty should stay out of trouble rather than add more work to it.

[Jade will be more than annoyed if Peony should die and need to be resurrected. And resurrection isn't a guarantee.]

I'd say I was dragged into trouble as soon as I walked into this place. But hey, you know better about these kind of things, I'm sure. So what would my most valued Colonel suggest I do about this situation?

Don't say disgusting things, Your Majesty. ['Most valued,' how rude] Stay out of trouble and call for my assistance if you come into trouble. I'll inquire around about fon machines that will allow us to keep in contact. Nephry would be so angry with me if something happened to you, and it would be more effort than it's worth to try to find a new Emperor.

Me? Find myself in trouble? As if I'd be so lucky.

But hey, don't worry so much. If you get the fon machine, I'll be sure to keep you on a tight leash. Who knows when I'll need to pull my vicious guard dog in to attack.

[Jade's first horrified thought involves cosplay, so he chooses not to voice it] That's very reassuring, Your Majesty.

What's with that look? Is something wrong, Jade?

Not at all, Your Majesty. I'm simply impressed by your gift with the language. It would be an honour to hear you craft it for the rest of my days.

You can shut up now before you make me sick. It's not the first impression I want to leave with the people operating this place.

Now, now, Your Majesty, I'm sure they won't be able to tell the difference.
