[He closes his eyes again but does hold still, long enough for the third thorn to come out, and when Blake sits back Jayden takes the moment to pull his arm back and give it a cursory look.]
Thanks. I think that might be all of 'em.
[For now anyway, but even if it's just purely a placebo effect, he feels a great sense of relief at having them gone. But he's also realizing that he should probably do something about the wound itself, and he pulls a remnant scrap of fabric he'd collected from his pocket; like everything else it's a tattered mess, but probably better than just leaving the injury open. Maybe.
He half pays attention to wrapping his arm one-handed, an attempt that is not helped by his shaking, but is managing a passable job all the same while he devotes the rest of his attention to listening to Blake. The mention of the tracker is a surprise for a brief moment, but then he remembers the signal Blake had mentioned when they'd first met. So it is a tracking device.
Jayden gives a small half-wave to indicate he doesn't need to inspect the device and Blake can keep it, half because he's afraid he'll accidentally break it and half because he's willing to trust what Blake's saying. Blake has no reason to be lying, and even if he is, who cares?]
Sure. Yeah, let's do it. They might be kinda' wary of me, though.
[Since he's already gone after one of them before. But then again, that might make him a decent distraction, especially if the Acolyte they target is focused on the idea that Jayden might be a threat and overlooks Blake.]
