A nod and an end to the subject is fine with her. She's on the freer end of sharing her past traumas, but she doesn't expect that of anyone else. She does hope that Jim has someone to share his pain with. Hunter, or the other Jim, or one of his crew. To keep it bottled up inside is not an effective long-term strategy.

She's learned that the hard way.

But sharing runes, that's different. No painful memories necessary. In fact, she looks a little excited about it, a hopeful smile on her face when Jim does not immediately reject the idea. Although the mind-meld gesture is lost on her. She turns a page in her notebook, and on a fresh sheet draws a little picture that emulates the Messengers' drawing style. Two stick figures, each with a rune in their head (a moon rune and Jim's rune, respectively), look at one another and share a thought bubble. Inside of it are the two runes.

Would you like to try? she writes underneath. The worst that could happen is that it doesn't work at all.
