Exploring seems to be the best choice considering her other options included a second go at conversation with Eridan, or standing there purposelessly in silence. Both of which were equally undesirable. So she departs, leaving him to faithfully keep watch of a girl Jade is almost positive is nothing more than a figment of his imagination (it was something about the way she laughed in a continuous loop that had tipped her off).

She wanders aimlessly down the shoreline, sometimes stopping to examine a particularly pretty shell or rock. Along the way she picks up a knobby stick, the wood dark and waterlogged, and uses it to flip over suspicious looking pieces of driftwood and to cautiously poke at slops of beached kelp.
