[ And~ bingo, she's on the hook. She may have grown a lot, but when it comes to her at least, it seems Mukuro is as predictable as ever. Junko can feel a wicked laugh welling up within her... but she quells it for now, of course. Replaces it with a hopeful, worried little smile. The exact expression she's quite sure will make her older twin sister want to protect her. ]
Would you? Really? [ She leans forward, puts a hand on the other's arm. ] I wouldn't want to be an inconvenience. It might be hard for you, paired with someone like me... but the more I think about it... especially because you have such a good grasp of your abilities...
[ Reel her in, slow and steady... ]
I really do think it could help me. Do you think it will be horribly dangerous, Ikusaba-san?
[A quick nod. A flicker of surprise as Ryoko complemented her mastery over her magic- one that turned into a little smile. Evidently, entirely unaware of the minefield she was creeping ever closer into.]
...it shouldn't be dangerous at this level. And- it's no issue.
[Two-way telepathy was a dragon-blessed ability, yes, one of the more basic ones- and she shouldn't need to dive too deep for that. So, she didn't really think anything of it.
Deep breath, speaking into her sister's mind.
"Ikusaba reporting in. I need to practice for missions anyway. Try and 'think' back to me, I'll try and read you."]
[ Junko is confident that she could "think at" Mukuro if she wanted to do so. After all, if her idiot of a sister could figure it out, she will certainly be able to do so.
But... she needs to act like someone who's struggling. Someone who doesn't have autumn powers—someone who needs the dragon-blessed ability if she's going to improve her skills.
So she scrunches up her face, intense focus written over her expression. ]
