Yeah. She kinda knows that he didn't actually ask her that out loud, but she also knows he felt shitty because she knew shit about him and he didn't know shit about her so obviously the solution is for her to tell him shit. And pretending he'd actually asked is a good excuse.
(Steven always told her that there was nothing wrong with little while lies in the name of social interaction, especially if it helped everyone save face.)
"Yeah, I'm like alive and solid again. It's really weird. Usually I'm a straight up ghost if I'm in the Skinlands and most of the time I'm not, I'm like in the Shadowlands or in Stygia. Which, uh, is this ghost city. There's a couple of them. Though, like, the one I probably should have gone to got trashed centuries ago, so I had to chill in Stygia instead. It's not a bad place for like a ghost town and I met some really nice dead friends there from like medieval France and shit. And, like, these last six years, that's mostly where I was, unless it was Dia and I went to visit Mom and Dad--oh shit, I just realized, next time I go, maybe I can get Steven or Shinobu to manifest me.
"Shinobu's my summoner buddy," she explains. "He's another one like you guys, only the really hot kind. I think he and Gil kinda like each other, but I dunno if they know yet? Anyway, uh, the way it was explained to me, Steven was investigating shit in New York to find out what happened to the vampires, because it's part of this big project his not-so-secret club, the Lord Sages, are working on. What happened of course is Gehenna and like, Caine coming home and everyone being fucked when Caine comes home, but I was double dead then so I don't know any details. But he found some shit my buddy Derek had written after I was executed and he found my own vampocalypse notes and he let his teacher borrow them and his teacher let Fetch Grandpa borrow them and Fetch Grandpa showed them to Shinobu and they decided to see if they could summon me with them to ask me vampocalypse questions."
