Skulduggery hears the question, of course, but the answer is somewhere in the binder. He's pretty sure. ...She probably can't read that though.......

"Ah, yes, she told me about those when I met her." Skulduggery's usual go-to for introductions is "name, are you from Earth, and what kind of magic do you have?" It's gone pretty well so far. "It's interesting you developed the magic yourself, but I can't say it's entirely unsurprising, given how slap-dash the entire system is here. Magic is probably leaking between all of us at a consistent rate."

And, since the binder's brought up... "I don't tend to leave names to information. And, if your harvesting truly doesn't affect anyone negatively, I don't see any reason to worry about it. Considering that we have had blood-drinking vampires on board without any problem, I doubt you'll be much worse off." Still, of course he won't blow up her spot. "And, if you were really curious: Jenny was a passenger from the last batch. She murdered her own group in order to win her freedom. She recently was returned to the ship through unfortunate circumstances."

So, not very free. Also, not in a very good mood.

"...I find my curiosity now much-dimmed by my sense of self-preservation." Erin takes a deep breath and dusts herself off, not for any particular reason beyond it being something to do with her hands. "We really do need to socialize outside of crises or work sometime. You're interesting company, Skullduggery. Usually this'd be when I suggest drinks sometime since we're all, you know, adults under stress but that's a bit of a non-starter. Still."

"I generally try to avoid her," which is the first time he's admitting to that fact, despite it being for reasons unrelated to her previous stay on the ship.

"Well, I'm not much for drinking on my own, but I make for decent enough company." He shrugs. "I very rarely let being sober stop me from having a good time."

"We'll have to make time then," Erin agrees. "And who knows, if more movies wash up aboard I could stand to listen in. Well," she adds, conscientiously, "once people are...feeling up to gathering at the pool again. If ever. In any event since I'm here anyway I think I'll go raid the stacks. Thank you again for your time, and your insight."
