He seals the bag, handing it to Professor Rammsteiner. (He wasn't expecting Jade to carry it back, was he?) "I'm done," he confirms. Without missing a beat, he asks: "Are we fighting?"

From Professor Rammsteiner's stance, he doesn't think so. The Professor seems to be on the defensive, if it can even be called that. Watchful might be a better term. Almost passive.

Jade sighs again, for what felt like the fifth time that night. He doesn't understand how Professor Rammsteiner works. Could someone really care that little about their job?
