[Still only a few paces away, Dist once again freezes in his tracks. No. Jade heard him, and worse, he actually addressed him back. This could have gone so differently- he could have run and bided his time until he was properly ready to face his childhood friend again. Perhaps he could have talked to Kato and devised a plan of attack together. However, it's not going to be that simple now. Then again, is it ever simple with these two?
Bitterly, he turns to face Jade, properly this time. Despite his bitterness, Jade might notice that there does seem to be something different about Dist. Whether it's by his appearance or simply his body language, he overall doesn't seem as sullen and stiff as he once did back in Auldrant. For Jade that may have been just recently, but for Dist...]
Is it? I suppose I would say I've had a few years to refine it.
[At this point, he doesn't really know if Jade actually remembers his last time in Johto. Not that it matters, because either way his mere presence has shaken Dist to his core. A lot of things happen in a grand total of two and a half years away from home.]
