Jade watched him for a moment. Judging from what Genesis had said in their brief exchange, Sephiroth might come to need healthy reminders again in the future -- but perhaps not now. Lecturing the man while he was on the verge of passing out would be of no help to anyone, nor was there much amusement to be gained. Besides, the coming month of recovery would be a lesson in itself.

"Well, don't feel too disheartened. Esdham survived this time, and I daresay the Empire took more casualties than we did. In no small part thanks to you." He reached over to pat Sephiroth's leg cast. Not hard enough to hurt, but quite possibly enough to be annoying. "I'd say you have earned your rest."

Whether the man wanted his rest was another matter entirely, but no one asked him.
