She's tempted to ask whether the lawyer experiences these messages as receiving an actual e-mail, or as receiving the message in his head, but that feels too much like getting sidetracked.

"Um… Thanks, but not right now." She'd be worried about him responding to that by showing up. "Maybe after we've gone our separate ways? I'll let you know. By the way, are there any consequences to using his name in any other context?"

Meredith believes he gets the message like an e-mail and also gets magically notified of someone trying to get his attention.

He’s less likely to show up for Meredith than for a new person because Meredith has called him or sent him messages an excessive amount of times but it still makes sense for Sanna not to want to risk it.

“Sure, my phone’s at home anyway.” She didn’t need it when she was out for a hunt. “It depends on how you use it. Just mentioning or writing it doesn’t usually do anything but he might show up if you say it with the intention to call his attention.”

Ooh. Good to know. "Thanks. So just reading it or thinking it in your head doesn't do anything?"
