[Jade had tuned out the screams - he had to. Restraining Ion before he hurt himself or others had become the priority. As Ion falls slack, Jade brings his arms back down, but he keeps a hold on him. Just to keep him from falling, and to assess his condition.
If he had picked up on the lack of blinking, he didn't take the time to properly register the thought due to the heat of the moment. But it all clicked when Ion blinked. At least Jade was holding him outward, so Jade's proximity might not look as unusual as it could be. Jade's eyes flicker over Ion as he speaks, assessing him all over again. The pieces may be starting to come together now.]

Ion.
Do you remember me now?
