[Oops. Jade doesn't make too much of where the other woman braces her hands at first, and instead is trying to compose herself after her own initial outburst. While her emotions might still be somewhat charged after what she was told in the manor, this person is innocent...

[Well. As innocent as anyone on Team New World could possibly be in Jade's eyes. But she'd never get anywhere if she always wasted her time snapping at everyone whose ideologies don't align with her own.]

Hey, no worries. It wasn't your fault.

[As she attempts to pick up the remaining scrolls, Jade's expression glazes over a bit at the dropped references.

[The tactic works, as she doesn't make an effort to try to blend in with the locals. Why should she? There would be no point in pretending. Jade just manages a tight-lipped smile as she hands the scrolls over.]

Ah, well. I wouldn't know. I'm just trying to get the lay of the land here. [She pauses. Maybe not a good choice of words to use in an environment where so many people already seem to be on edge. Paranoia is likely high enough as it is.] I mean, I'm new. To this, uh... world, I guess. Yeah.

[Whenever her shard is, it's not visible under her current attire, but this woman likely sussed that out accordingly.]
