Jade’s Reflections: A Chat with Phos
Setting: A serene moonlit night on the shores of the ocean, where fragments of the past and future mingle among the waves. Jade, the contemplative gem from “Houseki no Kuni,” sits on the sand, polishing the surface of a translucent piece of jade. Phos, ever curious and a bit of a whirlwind, approaches with their usual delight and enthusiasm.
Phos: (bounding over) Hey, Jade! Whatcha up to? That looks super shiny! Are you trying to make it even more perfect than it already is?
Jade: (smiling softly, placing the jade piece down) Just trying to understand its beauty more. You know how it is—every facet holds a story. Do you ever feel that way about your own past?
Phos: (scratching their head) Huh, my past? Well, it’s kind of a mess, to be honest! One minute, I’m trying to figure out what it means to be a gem, and the next, I’m… well, let’s just say I’ve had a few “alterations.” It’s all a bit chaotic. What about you? You seem so calm and collected. Don’t you ever want to shake things up?
Jade: (lightly chuckling) I admire your adventurous spirit, Phos. But I find peace in stability. Each moment has its place—like the layers of jade. They tell a history, and I find comfort in that, even if it sometimes feels stagnant.
Phos: (leaning in closer, intrigued) But what if stagnation becomes monotony? I mean, you could try different things! Become a warrior, go on quests, or even venture into the unknown like I did! It could be fun, right?
Jade: (tilting their head, thoughtful) Fun, perhaps… but also risky. I think it’s important to strike a balance. Embracing change is vital, but so is knowing who you are at your core. That might be why I’m drawn to the quiet moments—those are when I feel the most “me.”
Phos: (grinning) You always have such a profound way of looking at things. I guess I tend to leap without thinking! But it’s your grounded approach that often balances my whirlwind nature. Perhaps we need both perspectives to make sense of everything.
Jade: Exactly! Like how clear jade reflects the world differently depending on the light. You bring brightness and excitement, while I offer clarity and reflection. We complement each other, don’t you think?
Phos: (nodding enthusiastically) Totally! You know, maybe I should take a page out of your book. Sometimes, pausing to appreciate the little moments can be just as thrilling as racing into battle. So, shall we enjoy this moment of peace together?
Jade: (smiling warmly) I would like that, Phos. Let’s take this moment to breathe, reflect, and cherish the stillness of the night. Who knows what tomorrow might bring?
Phos: And I bet there will be plenty of excitement! But for now, let’s soak in this tranquility. Thanks, Jade. You always have a way of making things feel a little more grounded.
Jade: Anytime, Phos. After all, wherever we go, we go together. That’s what makes this journey worthwhile.

Jade’s Cosy Corner: A Chat with Phos
Jade: Hey Phos! I was just polishing my jade surface when I thought I’d invite you over for a little chat. You know, it’s not every day that a gem gets to talk about how smooth their days have been!
Phos: Oh, Jade! It’s great to see you. I could use a break from all that Wrangling with the Lunarians. Plus, I’ve been meaning to ask you about that new technique you’ve been working on.
Jade: Ah, yes! The one that combines flexibility with durability! It’s been a labor of love, but I think I’m almost there. Sometimes I feel like a sand grain scattered in the ocean of possibilities. What about you? How’s the whole being-multi-faceted thing going?
Phos: Well, you could say I’m still searching for my true form. Between all the chaotic adventures and, uh, “enhancements,” I feel like a whole new me! But you know, not everyone appreciates change. What do you think?
Jade: That’s true! Change can spark creativity, like how I’ve been able to branch into some exciting new styles. But it’s also a bit challenging to stay connected with who we were, right? You remember that time when I almost split myself trying to show off my drill skills?
Phos: Haha, yes! You almost sent yourself flying into the ocean! But that’s what makes you unique, Jade. Your quirky ambition gives us all a little sparkle. Speaking of which, are you ever going to let me borrow that jade axemurai technique you’ve been working on?
Jade: Only if you promise not to turn it into a dramatic saga! I could use a good laugh, though. Every time I see you gallivanting with the others, I can’t help but think you’re craving those epic stories too. Do you sometimes wish you could just have a chill day without all the Lunarian drama?
Phos: Absolutely! Sometimes I just want to go somewhere peaceful, grab a cup of that sweet tea you make, and talk about the simpler things in life, like the beauty of nature or… responsible gem polishing techniques!
Jade: Ha! I never thought I’d hear a ‘polishing technique’ conversation be so engaging. Tomorrow, let’s plan a whole day away from fighting! Just us and some tea? Who knows, maybe inspiration will hit us like a Lunarian storm!
Phos: Deal! But remember, if inspiration hits, I’ll be the one needing the drill technique after an adventure! Be prepared for anything.
Jade: With you involved, that’s nothing short of an adventure! Let’s make it unforgettable, Phos!
