Okay, you'll all have to forgive me for bringing up necromancy again.. I know some people really dislike hearing about it.
[She clears her throat nervously, trying to decide how to word this delicately. You know, for the people who hate necromancers or are afraid of the dead. But... Letha's never been the best with tact.]
I've heard through word of mouth from locals and... Walter... that some manner of people were living outside of the wall, and have since been mysteriously killed off. While I'd like to investigate and I'm... particularly equipped to speak to the dead, I don't trust myself to stay safe on the way there. Particularly considering that my only current forms of protection are a risen and a baby pokemon.
Aside from some proper protection, I'd like to see if anyone has... well, I believe investigative experience would be prudent. Those who were coppers in your home worlds or... at least have solved mysteries before, I'm not picky. It would be nice to have another necromancer around to divide the work of interviewing corpses, but I doubt I'll get that blessing.

[Mostly because when a skeleton is missing a leg it's annoying to move.]
I can't say I know exactly what the problem is... I'm so accustomed to the dead that I find it hard to see what others are so worried about. There are dangers involved, but I've trained for years and never had a problem, and no one gets hurt. Corpses don't even smell that much.
[Or.. normally they don't. She didn't do a great job of cleaning her pet corpse, so he smells... horrible.]

[ At least that's how it sounds. ]
I would say to give them time and try to educate them when you can. You may not gain total acceptance of your art, but that really is the best you can do beyond being a safe and responsible practitioner. Just as you are accustomed to the dead and your magicks, there are those out there who simply are not or who may have had bad experiences with those who practice similar magicks or... well, who simply regard the dead as so sacred as to not disturb them at all. You can only control what you do in setting your personal precedent. That is your power, Letha.
[ And she can't quite help the mutter that follows: ]
Much as it baffles me that there could be worlds without magick at all...
