I just don't think the person I'd want to bring back would be very happy with it.

Necromancy doesn't work as well in mine as it does in yours, or other worlds, as far as I've managed to glean. So I can't shake off the feeling that it wouldn't work out anyway.
Necromancy isn't the only way to do it, where I'm from. Most people who come back don't come back like me. But the other way only works if the person you're after is willing to return, and they aren't, always.
[ They're kind of treated the same in his world a good chunk of the time -- after all, one of the core infamous figures at the Vatican is Fiend Petr. ]
Always learning new things with everyone else's worlds, every day...
[ He does tense up a little bit when his hand is taken but this goes for everyone pretty much. He's a little less hesitant if only because affection week, his suspension of disbelief materialising due to some strange force in the cosmos... ]
...I don't know about boring, but I just think some people put a bit too much worth and interest into other people's origins. Spend enough time mulling over yourself let alone bothering someone else.
[ And some people are just rude. Thinks of a particular person who wouldn't let him off the hook for being too much of a city slicker, and somehow apparently being like a nail that sticks out at the same time. What even was her problem. ]
It's alright. I don't mind talking about these things, I simply prefer not to dwell on them!
[a slightly off kilter smile.]
It was all political. The lord and lady of the city I grew up in had deposed another family, and the heir to that family had gathered some forces of his own and was threatening to return and depose them. So they gathered a few peasants and hung them to make a warning before his return.
[ He still is never quite sure how to read that smile. ]
I know you've mentioned a number of times that your previous life isn't like your current one, but... I'm sorry that happened. That you got roped up in all of that.

[a little darkly - necromancy is not a great or smiled upon practice, really, in exandria, either.]
I'm speaking of holy magic. Miracles and resurrections.

There's an arrogance to those sorts of beliefs that I find laughable. Perhaps I hate it, but I don't want it to matter.
no subject
Couldn't agree more.

People can be so boring.

Yes, I quite agree. And it isn't as though I asked to be what I am. I simply got murdered and had an unusual reaction to it!

[ Her delivery really is almost charming if it weren't also so, YOU KNOW. ]
...Might be a sensitive question, don't feel too pressured to answer -- but do you know who, or why that all happened?
[ Who would do this to you... ]
no subject
Oh, yes. I know.
no subject
Or are you more of the type who'd like to just focus on the future?
no subject
...There's nothing that can be done about what happened. And the persons responsible are dead and buried.
Of course I still feel anger, but I don't want to dwell on that.
no subject
Sorry for the question. I couldn't help but be curious -- you and your circumstances are very unique.

[i definitely do not think he intended that to be a joke.]
That's kind of you to say. The truth is, I hardly think of it anymore.
no subject
[ He definitely did not. He is lowkey mortified. ]
Sorry, terrible choice of words...
no subject
It's alright. I understand what you were intending to say.
no subject
[ Yet or maybe never, who knows. ]
And to be able to speak about it lightly, considering.
