I have been warned of him before. I make little secret of my abilities, but rest assured, should he take an interest, I am more than capable of defending myself.
Hmm. That is understandable; I feel much the same. [She will probably end up talking to him at some point. Because she feels the need to figure out/keep an eye on all the sketch characters.]
And I am grateful for your concern. You have my thanks.
Yes... he's very smart, and dangerous. [Broken too, but Rin hesitates to go too much into that. A small pause.] I hope he's not too much of a bother to you, anyway.
Ah, also - what did you need to hear about Damsel?
I am not inexperienced in such matters. [Yes, don't tell Galadriel that. She'll end up looking for the cracks and poking at them.]
[And a pause here. This would be asking a lot and for a great deal of trust from someone she barely knows.] I hesitate to ask and I fully understand if you refuse. Indeed, you would be wise to do so, knowing as little of me as you do. But if I may look inside your mind and see the memories for myself, it may prove more profitable than any question I could ask.
... This is what scared her so badly when Joshua did it before. When she thought he was going to do it - it was what made her fold. But... she's better than that now, isn't she?
This is something important, that's worth sharing information on, and even necessary. So...]
[It's a combination of the telepathy and being over 8,000 years old. You learn to read people.]
May I inquire as to the circumstances? If you know yourself to react strongly to such things, I beg of you to tell me. I have no wish to harm you and there are certain measures I may take to put you more at ease.

I'm Asano Rin. Just Rin is fine. Do you like Galadriel, or Lady, or...?

I want to warn you of someone, though.

[She can guess where this is going, but she actually knows a number of people worth being warned about, so she won't interrupt.] Oh?

For what reason, do you know?

You have experienced something of this nature before.
[It's not a question, but rather an invitation to tell her of it. She does need to know if you are particularly sensitive to this kind of thing.]

Well... [Uncertain.] That was a long time ago.
