Liu Xi might do that, but usually only if it's convenient. She hasn't yet learned to rely on heavy research into those things, though she might be inspired to it if she happened to be at the Lair Mansion while Tandi happened to be there too.

If you really meant Liu Xi...how would the curse hop that far if Liu Xi isn't there? Of course that scenario also may explain why Vinnie didn't bring her along.
Anna, on the other hand...I'm not sure how a curse would affect her. I'd think a blood curse would require real blood.

Noted.

Or he's afraid of getting in trouble with Liu Xi again.
