[lady happily accepts the petting but responds to jinx's rhetorical question with a look that is frankly skeptical. sansa lets out a little laugh––half disbelief, half recognition. of course vi's sister would be like this. she doesn't know what else she might have expected.]
Well, I suppose that proves it; you must truly be Vi's sister, then. That's the kind of stupid thing she would say, only worse. She's been looking for you ever since she got here; she'd never forgive me if I took you to the Dog Keeper without at least stopping by to see her––especially if you get yourself killed by Beasts running off in the Trenchwood without a weapon or your omen.
[sansa's tone is light and teasing. a hellhound actually would actually be a good idea; jinx seems like she needs all the protection she can get, and sansa's a big believer in emotional support animals. but she's not sure the dog keeper will actually hand one off to a new arrival just because she asks for one, even if sansa brings him her usual gift of bits of rope and toys for the dogs. an omen is easier and more immediately useful, anyway. she extracts a needle from a case hanging on her chatelaine and offers it to jinx.]
Why don't you try summoning your omen, first? They're a kind of spirit in the form of a creature––they're a little like another version of you. Every Sleeper has one. They're very clever, they know a good deal about this world, and they're meant to appear when you do the magic here for the first time. Since it's all to do with what kind of blood you have, it might help you to prick your finger and see what it is.
