Erin does some mental math, realizes there's way more than ten rings in Lord of the Rings, and concludes she has no idea what this legend of ten rings is. "The red string is an old...Chinese? Chinese, legend, that says those who are destined to love each other are tied together by the red strings of fate. It's cute. Somewhat sinister. You can probably find stories and art of both if you go looking."

(Stop nerding out at her there's HOT GOSS!)

"Part of me says I should decline to hear the story since he didn't share it himself." Erin's got a shit-eating grin a mile wide. "But I'm all ears if you're telling, this sounds amazing."
