"...Gods, why are you like this?" Her ears flatten. "I suppose you'll end up finding out the hard way, then. No surprise there."

"Not that the threat of death is going to startle you much, but remember you can't just jump into another vessel here, not as you are right now. I don't actually know what happens, but... it's probably less of a smooth process than an Ascian's death."

Raising a hand, she gestures off nowhere in particular. "So, are you just going to look for unoccupied houses? I don't know, maybe you'll get lucky."
