[It's hard to reason through, in a state like this, when he could just nuzzle into Jade and bask in such an intimate embrace instead. As heavily as the soreness and exhaustion are starting to set in, he'll be glad to fall into bed tonight; even a mind that's so usually hyperactive has been thoroughly beaten into submission. Be proud, Jade, you've literally fucked him stupid. That's one way to stop all the scheming.
There's even a momentary flicker of confusion when Jade mentions the time, glancing up and seeing nothing but the dark, murky curtain of algae covering the surface. Late..... that's right, the sun had already been setting when they'd begun their chase, hadn't it? If Jade had waited much longer, he might have hurt himself, trying to sprint through such steep, thickly forested slopes at full speed in the dark. At least a leisurely walk home should be fine though, right?
Rook nods in agreement, but the way he sighs still sounds thoroughly reluctant.]
I suppose people will start to worry if we don't get back soon.....
