"That's what she said," she mutters mostly under her breath, flipping to the right page of the draft and beginning to write in the margins under her previous notes. This is how she almost misses the way Jacob reacts to Vrenille's name, except she glances up right at the end to see how serious he's being about his comments about the transfer, if he really thought she was trying to say what he's saying in hyperbole.
It doesn't make her happy, stepping right in that sore spot; but she can't possibly avoid it altogether, and she wasn't being malicious. Better, she thinks, that he builds up a callus sooner than later - or decide to do something about it. Not her problem, yet. Certainly not where she's been invited, either.
"They do," she confirms, going back to writing. "Also that if you think I'm asleep, don't try to sneak in. Just wake me up. I'll go right back to sleep and we'll both be a lot happier if I know you're here from the drop. And that Jesus has a key, but he likes to break in anyway sometimes. Wherever I am, he's welcome as far as I'm concerned."
No one else gets this consideration from her, but she offers the warning because she's aware that considering Jesus's involvement with Vrenille, that might be a sore spot, too.
