West! Jade’s fought a group of sharks canonly in the past and come out on top, though he might make a (half-joking) effort of politely asking them if they can pass in the unlikely event it’ll avoid a fight. He’s got no animal communication skills, it’s purely him being cheeky and making “an effort”.

Frieda will be close enough that Jade can intervene if she’s targeted, but far enough away not to wind up collateral in any fights.
