It was an interesting comparison to make, and her expression lit up with mild interest. A fireball versus forgetting all her memories? She'd take the fireball, especially after all she heard from Max about the experience. It had been harrowing, by all accounts--at least from Max. Goki's retelling had made it sound stupid. Flowers? Trees? Guns? Text messages? Her boyfriend's childish roommate had no sense of dignity.
Regardless, Markus pulled out a piece of paper to start making notes, and Emily leaned forward. Lips parting, she was curious, and just about to politely pry into the whole Underworld experience when Markus changed the subject to working on the nullification field. Her eyebrows lifted in surprise and then she looked down at the notes.
Thoughts diverted, she paused and quietly considered the question. She'd worked together with Vicky, and though she wouldn't denigrate the dead, Em was still left with the feeling of being taken advantage of.
“They do, yeah,” she stalled, before glancing around and finding she was the only other person in the workshop. That wouldn't do, and she obviously still wanted Markus to have a way to protect herself. She fought with herself a little bit before deciding. “I wouldn't... mind checking your runes, sure,” she offered with a polite smile, reticent but not saying no.
