11. How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)?
Depends on the situation. If J’hasi’s tryna get into some place he’s not supposed to be in (aka if he’s stealing something, tryna sneak into some place for information, posing as a distraction for a partner in crime, etc), he’ll just roll with it with hardly missing a beat. He’s fairly good at improv on the spot, and letting a target ramble on often gives him more information so he can better fake that he’s supposed to be here, oh would you mind directing me to this person who works nowhere near this important door you’re supposed to be guarding hmm yes, I get rather lost…
With friends he’s comfortable with J’hasi will ask for clarification, just to make sure he’s not misunderstanding. Those he’s not so close with he’ll go quiet and listen to them go on and maybe some point along the line he’ll understand. If he still doesn’t understand, he’ll kinda do a recap like: ‘so we do X and Y, then we go to Z?’ to see if that’s what friendo was meaning, while posing as sort of a TL;DR explanation of the situation. When it’s business it’s similar to this, though he’s more of the ‘cut to the chase’ kind of guy when it comes to merc or bounty work.
If it’s someone he doesn’t like (*COUGHCOUGH*ICARUS*COUGH*), then he just ignores them or gives some sort of insult or quip. Even better if he calls them something insulting in a language he knows but they don’t, because now THEY’RE confused, how do you like them tables turned?

E) Are they someone you would get along with? Would they get along with you?
Me and J’hasi would get along p well I think. We have similar interests and we both enjoy time spent with other people in similar fashions. Actually having J’hasi as a roommate would be pretty good for me, get me out of the house and find some forest or park to walk around in. Would be good until he started darting after rabbits. He’d probably need a child leash.
J’hasi would probably be alright with me. A little pissy and stubborn when it came time to talk about things that upset him or trying to solve some sort of emotional issue, but by and large he’d be alright with me. He’d probably get super pissed if he found out all the bad crap in his life happened because I said so, but maybe he would be a little gentler about killing me if I told him I made his story a little less awful on such a consistent level. I gave him friends and family that he genuinely loves! He’s no longer a born and raised killer! Though Shadows tried to do that with him but like…c’mon, conflict drives a story, man…
