[Rita will visit the store sooner or later (read: get not-quite-dragged there) and discover the absolute horrors of Halloween, though for now...
Rita blinks in confusion for a moment; isn't everything messy right now, with the ship the way it is? Well, whatever, she's a bit more interested in that Jinx information right now--as she lets the cabin door swing shut, she glances at Fio's letter again.]
You don't think she could've disguised her writing? If she was already doing this much in secret...
[...It'd be so convenient if it was Jinx. It would be a perfect excuse for Rita to get back at that freak for everything she put Natsuno through, but...she can't just storm off and accuse someone again without proof, so--
She tosses her shopping bag on the bed, and, more-or-less thinking out loud...]
--Looks like planning a trap was the right idea...
Hm... I don't know why she would. [ She pauses to consider the possibility. Why bother being sneaky about it though? ] Maybe she misses being a big sister...
[ Then her fingers tense around the letter, partially wrinkling the edges of the paper. Her head lifts up attentively, as she listens to Rita's musings aloud. Eyes widening in mild alarm. ]
A trap? [ A beat. ] ...What kind? Do you think it'll work?
[ The odd tension in her body quickly fades. Fio stares at the various objects scattered all over the bed, not looking very impressed. She was expecting some sort of magical trap from her.
[Huh...Fio didn't seem as impressed as Rita was expecting, but--well, she supposes someone couldn't just guess the spell she plans to put on her bait. Maybe Fio's just going along with it...but she is a genius after all, so she ends up looking pleased, even if she'll never admit it!]
Ha...you know it! Whoever it is claims they wanna be friends...so I'll put a little something out there for them, and then--
[She nods, as if that's all there is to it. Because really, all she needs to do after that is use her tracking spell to lead her straight to the culprit!]
[Rita's a genius after all! Fio surely appreciates that, even if the culprit is her "big sister" or whatever (although...knowing that relationship she has with Jinx does put a damper on picturing blasting that freak...)]
Well, this will let me figure out who's responsible, anyway. Whatever comes next... I'll figure that out when the time comes.

[And she upends the shopping back to empty the contents on her bed, which are...
...Some magnets, keychains, and coasters from the gift shop.]
...Bait!
[Yes, Rita is...quite pleased with herself over this.]

[ She decides to finish the sentence for Rita, still smiling. Like she's impressed, despite not knowing the entire explanation. ]
