Jace assumed the lotus position on the floor and gave his friends a good, appreciative look. The Ravenclaw felt warm and fuzzy inside as they both cheered him on. Surely, he's got friends back home in Japan who did the same, but to hear it from the people he practically lived and grew up with, it was more heart-warming. "Arigatou, gozaimasu." he said bowing his head to them. "I will do my very best." he said his eyes twinkling in gratitude.

The practise room did have that air of emptiness that could help someone clear out their thoughts. For Jace, however, it was a perfect venue for him to release stress from homework...and to practise for his promotion. The dummies were great opponents really. At least his aim is more than satisfactory this time.

Looking at Azura then at Jasper, Jace sat up straighter, his face plastered with a grin. "Since the two of you are here..." he said, purposefully giving both of them a very pregnant pause, Jace's grin turned into a smile.

Well, should he ask the things that make him curious about the two? Like...should he bring up his conversation with Azura back in their first year? Or should he discuss Jasper's beautiful sketch? The Ravenclaw was very tempted to ask them both, but didn't want to upset either of the two. He still needed evidence to be able to ask those questions so, he'd stay in the safe zone for now.

"I'd like to officially invite you to Japan. I already talked to my papa about it, and he's as excited as I am. Maybe...you should ask your parents soon about it? My papa can arrange international side-apparitions for you if you want, but...planes are okay too." They would be shouldering that expense though. The Reeds aren't exactly gazillionaires.
