I suppose "friends" sounds about right, though I believe an explanation isn't necessary.

[Jade says when he finally catches up, not at all winded. Something has to be said about the benefits of having such a speedy passive job, though Jade has the feeling the novelty of which would soon wear off once all this becomes more routine, or perhaps taken advantage of. But in either case, he wastes no time in searching the Bangaa's belongings, fishing out a purse that looks like it belongs more with a frilly old lady, along with a nondescript wallet that presumably is his own.]

I'll be taking this.

[He offers the fancy purse to the middle-aged lady who catches up with them around then, her thanks tenfold as Jade modestly tries to shake her off, waving his hand noncommittally as she tries to offer him some gil for his trouble.

In the meantime, the Bangaa stirs from his dazed stupor, mumbling something about Jade having his wallet. Jade pretends not to hear it, bowing slightly as the woman leaves them. He has every intention of turning over this wallet to the authorities, but for now he'll play along with pretending that intends to keep it for himself.

Once she's gone, he turns to Azusa, a casual smile on his face.]

I'd have to say, this is the last place I expected to see you around. It's quite fortunate you've found an escort of sorts.

[His gaze falls on her dual tail not too far back, both of whom he directs a small nod of acknowledgement and thanks.]
