Jadewing gives a smugly pleased little rumble of his engines that's the vehicle mode equivalent of a small smirk at the teasing tone and the canopy touch. He's definitely enjoying the chance to show off.

And he continued to enjoy it, even after they'd settled down from playing into casual flying. The question came as a mild surprise to him, though, and it was a moment before he answered. "Honestly? I haven't thought too much about it," he said. "I never figured we'd have much choice in the matter, and that these Firstforged I keep hearing about would just send us back en masse once we weren't needed here any more."

"Assuming I had a choice, though... I don't know," he said. "This place is... nice, even if it is kinda primitive. I could get used to being able to do whatever I wanted."

"But on the other wing," he said, "Cloudkicker and Snowfall are back there. And so's the only life I've ever know up til now. Yeah, it's not great, but as sad as it is, it's still... home, I guess."

If his wingmates were there with him, the decision would be much easier. But as it was, he couldn't help but be a bit torn.
