She frowns in turn, shoulders slumping almost comically fast.
"What better use does magic have than lightening the work of servants? All I ever used necromancy for at home was for chores, and no one ever took issue with it there..." She frowns, "I know how to keep magic under control, if that's your concern. I've never had a risen get loose and believe me, they're quite dangerous when one loses control of them. Just a few months ago, my brother was killed by someone breaking their focus while practicing."
Despite bringing up the most painful loss she's endured, she never loses that chipper spark. It isn't that she's working through it - it's that, having been raised so close to the dead, it never fully impacted her in the first place. In fact, compared to being in a different world where she can't contact him at all, Nathaniel's death seems like a petty thing to be upset about.
