[Rest assured Jade's listening as closely as he can--so well as he can manage, anyway, outdoor racket notwithstanding--as Fio moves about on her own end, soft rustling between softer steps as she evidently goes through the motions of gathering up what she can. As she stops speaking in the process, Jade falls silent in turn himself, not exactly wanting to break her concentration at a more critical balancing sort of moment or anything like that.
--Which makes it another very vague point of relief, when her voice does pipe up again at length.]
Exactly right! Once you've got enough layers, hard things will be more likely to bounce off you instead, and prevent nasty things like bruises. You don't want any of those if you can help it, after all! [Jade has incidentally acquired a brand new and exciting set of them himself, in the struggle it had actually taken to reach this particular deck. --But at least over the phone like this, it's not like he has to worry about Fio seeing any of those!] I've also been told that wrapping up in such a way makes you feel safer, too...though I've actually never tried it before myself, to be honest. Is it true, you think...? How do you feel now?
[ She would rather not get any bruises and worry anyone even further! Soon enough she's sitting wrapped up in the blanket, accompanied by pillows and the plush doll in her arms to give her extra comfort. Sounds of fabric rub against the communication device, as she continues to also cling to it like a lifeline.
It nearly feels like the kind of setup she would want to do when relaxing on a cold, winter day. Cozy enough she could nearly doze off in, if it weren't for the violent storm going on right now. But in the case she needs to move or listen to further instruction, she needs to stay awake. ]
...It's comfy. A little less scary. I think I'll be okay.
[ Still obviously a bit shaken, especially when she knows there's something big going on outside. But it's an improvement! ]
