She raised her eyebrows at him, amused. "Normal... okay. Let's do this. You first, though. I'm scared."

"Then it's already working," he chuckled.

You wanna be the person getting scared?

He crept to the front door of one of the houses and knocked loudly.

“Because my goal is to be written it’s impossible for a side quest to be unrelated, but I have been doing frivolous ventures - the Authors simply tend to forget them. I’ve handed out deadly lasers and cursed swords, started two organizations, challenged people to ethics debates and sparring matches, mastered dozens of hobbies, founded an hotel and a planet, and attempted to accompany several different groups on quests. I’ve also subjected myself to a code of ethics and am attempting to get rid of my powers and give weak Narration to large groups instead, all in an effort to make my own goals more difficult. I do have a few secrets, but since I don’t lie I cannot elaborate or else I soon won’t.” 
Am I reading way too much into it, or is Symbol asking Rebus out on a date? 

I seem to have written myself into a corner - either I need to figure out how to scare Rose more, or Meat can just let her to the last room. 

Hmmm. I was supposed to be murdering him, wasn’t I? Though Ruia’s kinda dead - I think that terminates the contract. 

“I do not consider myself mean, but few mean people would acknowledge themselves as such. I’m told my namesake was mean and tormented people, but that is irrelevant.” 

“Oh, but those hardly count,” she dismissed. “I mean… goodness, how to put this. Other aspects of you. Little things that make you happy. Things that make you angry. Quirks of character.” She paused. “Hmm. I suppose I should think of a few of my own.”
I think she’s just hinting that a potential relationship could be beneficial as fluff for the Authors. More than that I cannot say. 

She knows it’s a vision, so I think she’s gonna be fine no matter what happens.

It’s up to however they think of it. Symbol wouldn’t enforce the contract, but them chasing him could make for an interesting plotline.

“Business suits?” She looked stunned by that. “Business suits— are you SURE?”

She waved goodbye to him and went back to what she was doing.

"Act normal, I guess."

Holt jumped.

A little winky-face appeared in front of Rebus.

"O-okay."

“You WANT to taste bland??”

There must be some kind of lingering connection to both me and her. Lytikyria does not like being powerless. She paused. That nature may be to blame for what I turned Symbol into.

Rebus thought about it, and made up his mind. There was going to be a party in sixty pages, after all.

“I’m unsure what I would actually do… In real people, that sort of thing flows naturally from their personality and experiences.” 
The vision fractured, and Rose was back in a mirror room, though her tattoos were still gone. 
Their decision process is basically “would we get money?”, so I’m not sure they’ll continue it unless an opportunity presents itself.

A light switch flipped on in one of the bedrooms, and the shadow of a middle-aged man crept across the floor.
