[@Shifter_Master] She kind of doesn't. Mariette's always been a loner. She considers Deni and Eli extensions of her own will, and will depend on them for everything, yes, but anyone else? Even Violet and Sakura, her new friends through various circumstances, are not people she naturally thinks to involve in her own business. "Friends, not allies" is slightly what she's thinking. If anything, she might actually be afraid she'll get them hurt, too, for involving them.

... But that's just what I'm currently thinking that her mindset would be. If that's not as fun because it'd prevent the Djinn Sisters from getting involved... ... ... Heh. I can have Eli show up to talk to them, if Mariette ever lets her off on her own. Hah.
