[ "Seven--" Her eyes widen at the mere mention of the number, and her fingers almost curl back into her palm. Almost, because as he lists the names, familiarity flashes within her eyes at the mention of one other upon it. Seven people are a lot more with whom to share this with, when she would far prefer discretion. Yet there are six of these people who, potentially, can seize the reigns of their power back into their own, if Rem is able to help them even just temporarily.
Jill. Jill is kind. A touch reserved when it comes to being silly, but she saw the spark of it there, the interest in trying new things, the parrot of a pun in return. They had spoken of attending a cat-cafe together, and Rem is certain she will enjoy it.
And Joshua-- he is soft-natured, helpful. He had promised to sing for her next they meet, and with this, Rem is certain he will be fairly terrible at it.
As for Cid... She thought him shrewd, but here he is saying he must inform his brethren even when, without a set deal, he can lose this potential opportunity her magic provides. She would think having this option would allow for some measure of silence to others, especially if it could ultimately benefit them.
...But then it occurs to her that it doesn't matter; throughout their conversation, he's plied information out of her, piecemealed at a pace that she hadn't caught, to the point that she's told more than enough. Now he knows she'll be searching for a hallowed relic regardless, now he knows she wishes for as few others as possible to know, and if she withdraws, now he can tell the others anyway for what she seeks. If this had been his ploy all along, she'd fallen into it like the naïve girl she is. Negotiations are not her strong suit.
Yet, it doesn't seem he means any ill-will, even if it's become obvious that the upper hand has always been his own. That's not shrewd. That, too, is kind, the same sort within Jill and Joshua. ]
