Haha! I'm sure she would. She and Ivan know each other, actually, come to think of it... though I don't know how well. I ought to ask him. She might already be a, well, "designated guest," so to speak.
[ a beat, because this makes her think of something. ]
... she doesn't actually boobytrap the hallway outside her room in the Devil's Nest, does she?
[ it is a completely genuine question, though asked with a mix of incredulity and amusement. ]
I'm positive they know each other. Ivan and I spoke about her in the last dream. He'd picked up on our... relationship. [ Not that they were dating, but that they were close.
Lortel's question earns a bright laugh. ] I think she does. As far as I know, it's nothing deadly, though. Some of her traps are more like pranks. Others are definitely of the dangerous variety, though.
Really? [ that makes her laugh. ] How sweet... they don't always pick up on things like that, understandably. [ given the way they grew up... ] Till didn't realize Megumi and I were dating until I told him, either. He'd only guessed we were close. Somehow, I can see the two of them being friends... Ivan and Jinx, I mean. [ they have a similar sort of impish chaos to them, at times.
the confirmation gets a genuinely surprised reaction. ] She was serious?!
[ ...
in the end, she laughs, too, bright peals of it. ]
I didn't run into a thing. She really did clear the hallway for me. She said she would. I really couldn't tell if she was just messing with me or not...
I told him I thought his Offering form was beautiful—he asked if Jinx was rubbing off on me. [ To her, that implies they've bonded over his bug-ishness. Sharon doesn't doubt that Jinx thinks he's cool. Jinx makes friends in the strangest ways. ]
The last place she lived was so trapped that when I visited, she had to escort me to the backroom because if I stepped wrong, I'd lose a limb or something. When she says she's got something trapped, believe her and never risk it. [ She's beaming, though. She likes that about Jinx. ]
