[Baffling as it is to hear, actions tend to speak louder than words. Jade has met her fair share of liars to know that Kainé isn't trying to be humble when she responds.]

Really? W-well, I wasn't just blowing hot air when I said what I said. I mean it. Honest.

[Jade herself can be a bit of a liar when she needs to be, but she tells the truth when it matters. And she isn't in the market of just casually telling anyone they're attractive. Kainé's pretty! Certainly not someone Jade could imagine herself kicking out of bed if they wound up together in one -- a rather amusing thought, considering where she's sitting now.

[When Kainé remarks on Jade's sudden shift in formalities, she gives another start.]

Oh, yeah, of... of course. Force of habit.

[Usually when she's trying to play social chameleon, especially among "civilized" company.]
