"Hoo-wee, what's a pretty thing like you doin' in a teensy little place like this?"
Trance turned around and found a redheaded young man smiling at her as he hovered in mid-air. He felt nice, though, and Trance was rarely wrong about people. She smiled back pleasantly. "I don't know, actually. I just turned a corner in the corridor of my ship, and here I was. Do you know where 'here' is?"
"No, can't say as I do. I was zippin' around, way up in the clouds, lookin' for my best friend, and all of a sudden I go careenin' bang smack right into that wall over there," he said, all in one breath. Then he grinned broadly and scratched at the back of his head. "Oh, and I'm Jin, by the way."
"I'm Trance. Pleased to meet you, Jin."
"Likewise."
Trance looked around their mysterious prison, then upward. She could see the tops of the walls, but there was nothing beyond them. Nothing at all.
"Do you know how we're supposed to get out of here?"
"Not a clue. I flew up 'round the top—I'm a Wind Tamer, see—but there's some sorta force field or invisible wall or somesuch keepin' us down here. I suppose we'll just have to sit and wait for some kind of answer." Jin dropped to the ground, sitting cross-legged. "Tell me about yourself, Miss Trance."
They talked for a long time, as there was nothing else to keep them busy. They were the only features of the little room. Trance told Jin about the Andromeda and her friends, and he told her about Demon World and the Dark Tournament and Touya. She noticed how Jin's voice went a little soft and wistful when he talked about the ice demon.
"He sounds wonderful. You seem to like him most of all."
"Well, I-I..." Jin stammered.
Trance put a hand on his knee. "I think I understand. You're nervous about letting him know."
"Maybe a little. He's just so bright and smart and funny and beautiful and perfect." Jin sighed. "Christ, I sound like a wee little girl with a crush."
"It's sweet. You should talk to him when you get out of here."
He looked down to her hand, still on his knee. Suddenly quiet, he covered her purple fingers with his hand and leaned forward to kiss her.
Trance thought it was probably a worse idea than it felt like. But she let him kiss her, and lay her down on the floor, and undress her. He was a considerate lover, if a bit clumsy and rough sometimes.
He fell asleep afterward, and Trance felt a lurch in her stomach like the one she felt before she'd arrived in the room. She stroked Jin's forehead gently one last time and sent up a little prayer. He wasn't from her universe, so she didn't really know what his future held, but she could hope that he had that talk with Touya and that Touya returned his feelings. And if she tugged a little on his threads of fate before she disappeared...well, it was the least she could do.
