"Sinister?" Ava questions. Not sure if she really believes in the concept of fate anyway. "Ah, the Ten Rings were Chinese as well, before it became a global terrorist threat. Supposedly. Turns out its leader was a paid actor, to stir fears of war. Makes it easier to sell weapons that way." But she knows there must be more to it than that, the organization dates back all the way to the medieval era after all.

Which is to say she's distracting a bit from the story Erin is really asking for. She goes poking back at her own shrimp. She's not as fast as an eater.

Except the part where I didn't factor in his reaction, where it made him suspect I was the one compromised by a ghost instead. Quite embarrassing."
