All things considered, Anise didn't feel that surprised. It almost felt like it was a side of Jade she'd seen before. His shadow was cocky and arrogant, but that was kind of the way he was every day, too. If Dist was any indication, this was probably closer to the way Jade was as a kid. Also, emotions. Jade didn't usually talk about them in any capacity. That part was weird.

Anise nodded towards Rukia and Sheena, before looking at Jade, "Yeah, we're all your friends here. You get onto us all the time about not being careful. It's not fair that you get to do this all by yourself!"

Before continuing, Anise took a very pointed look at shadow Jade, and then crossed her arms, "Besides, your shadow looks pretty weak. And dumb. He keeps saying all this stuff, but it doesn't even matter."
