[You know what this is? Modesty.]

Yes. Also potions brewing, though I don't know how useful that will be when none of the ingredients I use for potions are available here.

[downswing]

The strength of one improves the whole. Be welcome.

[reparo]

[Well - that's...wise. Hard to tell if compliment or not, not that it matters now.]

The strength of many is better.

[downswing]

We have experience in sword mastery, healing. Your companion and the witch Emilia, sorcery. Some, the dead.

[reparo]

Necromancy?

[downswing]

The name matters?

[reparo]

The nature of the practice matters more. It's considered a Dark Art when and where I'm from.

[downswing]

Rightfully.

If the dead are controlled without consent.

[reparo]

You make it sound like you ask them for consent.

[downswing]

The necromancer so prevails.

[reparo]

How? How does the necromancer prevail? If you raise the dead prior to consent to ask them for consent for them to be raised, is it not a moot point?

[downswing]

You need not raise them.

[reparo]

You need not raise them to check? How then?

[downswing]

To be stirred, spirits must linger.

As I glean.

[reparo]

So you're one of those who raise the dead - but not the undead that were below, in the tunnels.

( OFFENDED IN LAN. )

[downswing]

I make no claim to necromantic skill.

If I have offended -

[reparo]

[actually, no.]

[reparo]

I apologise for trying to guess at what you are gleaning.

I thought you spoke in riddles as a result of stress (and freezing waters) but it seems not.

[downswing]

I bear the trust of a master of the art.

[reparo]

Oh!

[reparo]

Are they also here?

[downswing]

Effusively.

[reparo]

Maybe I will meet them, then.
