Yuri... really doesn't know, does he? It surprises Jade - and he appreciates Asch stepping up to take the explanation, because Jade knows he would have had a hard time being kind, himself.
Yuri stammers about how he couldn't possibly be an Aegis, he couldn't possibly be without knowing, without someone else knowing. The flesh eater thing in particular pings as curious to Jade - those are not the words of a man who committed the act himself, not on his own terms.
"I suppose if they had no idea the blade they were making into a flesh eater was an Aegis," Jade suggests, though he does wonder how anyone could feel Yuri's ether signature and not know. Humans, he supposes. "And - I don't know how young you are, Yuri, but blades generally don't make the history books within the first few decades of their lives. And if this is your first lifetime - and it must be, right? If you remembered others, you would know you were an Aegis. Regardless, how could anyone write about a blade who has been asleep for most of the history they're writing?"
His eyes flick towards Asch, subtly enough that Yuri might miss it, considering it's not like Jade can move his head much without interrupting Mythra.
(He processes how distressed Yuri really is about here, and hopes he hasn't been too cold, too harsh - wishes he'd thought to try and borrow some of Asch's compassion before he dove in.)
even if he's not i am!
