[A pleasant enough smile accompanies the easy acceptance aloud, but...yeah there might be a slightly sardonic tint there too. How do you quantify that extended Hiram bit you pulled with the pirate crew, sir?? Half-truths and lies by omission still count as dishonesty too, as far as Jade's concerned...!
Still, arguing that point isn't going to get this conversation anywhere productive, and Jade's aware enough of this already. For the meantime--]
At any rate. To recap, then, to my understanding--do correct me if I'm wrong! As you cannot directly view or enter this reality yourself, you're opting to send a handful of passengers there instead. To retrieve an item of some importance to you...though we only know it's there by "vibes", and can only barely assume it's even physical enough to carry. You have no idea what we should expect to encounter in this unknown place. We also have no idea what the item you want looks like, or what size it is. We do know that it's hidden, though we don't know who hid it...and I'd guess you don't know why either. To cap it off, it'll be easier to return via dying than it will the conventional way, probably...though dying is unlikely to lead to actual success, either.
[A beat of silence, to just kind of...let all that sit there, for a moment. And then, very dryly:] Not asking for much, are you?
