Jade hadn't actually intended to ask Guy and Luke to accompany him; indeed, he'd meant for his next question to be where Dist would be released from, and how to get there. It certainly wasn't because he didn't want their help, or even that he'd prefer to work alone, so much as he'd simply imagined they wouldn't be interested in helping Dist, of all people. He'd kidnapped Luke (however briefly) once, and been a general annoyance to them all on several occasions - and while Jade at least had a childhood friendship of sorts to blunt his distaste for the God-General somewhat, neither Luke nor Guy could be expected to feel any sort of obligation to Dist, or concern for him.

Jade wasn't sure whether Luke had offered because he'd forgiven more readily than Jade had taken into account, or if he was simply determined to do the right thing even if it meant helping Dist. Still, either way, he wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth; the fact that Guy would almost certainly follow Luke's lead made it all the better. "We can find out whether we can bust in or not once we arrive," Jade replied to the boy's first question, "though given what else this place is capable of, I'd at least expect them to be able to secure a door against us." Nodding to the stairs, he said in a pleasant and all-too-familiar tone, "Guy, would you care to lead the way?"
