At the very least, the sight of the head laying upon the ground and watching them approach didnât seem to be a trap. Of course all the best traps didnât reveal their nature, but Margaret didnât see much reason to doubt this individual. She looked to be in quite a helpless position anyway, and given that she was still accompanying her body, there was leverage to be held should the need arise.
Fortunately, from the enthusiastic nature with which the headless form would suddenly lean into her and squeeze her hand, she didnât believe such a thing would be necessary. She just laughed at the friendly contact, letting her hand slip from the other as it walked to the shade to complete itself. With thanks offered, Margaret bobbed a small curtsy toward the other young woman(young in appearance, at the very least).
âIt was my pleasure. As something of an agent of darkness myself, think of it more as a show of camaraderie and less as a favor.â
She pulled up to stand straight once more, observing the other with a smile across her face. The blue skin had been shown in part on the body, but she could not predict the striking black and gold eyes staring back at her. Quite lovely, they were- befitting of a being such as this at any rate, especially if her recollection of macabre tales informed her properly.
âQuite exciting to find a dullahan in this city. Are you a recent arrival or have I just not been fortunate enough until now to meet you?â
Someone with manners, something that came as a welcome surprise compared to most of her interactions in this city in her stay so far. Far from the least pleasant person whoâd... Recovered a part of her, even before she took a moment to admire the style of her clothing. Compared to how low the bar had been set by some previous undesirables, this was already fantastic.
âOh? How curious. Ravenâs of a feather, I suppose.â Definitely better than being indebted to a traitor from the homelands. She wanted to know exactly how this person was akin to an agent of darkness, but it wasnât cool to ask.Â
She did an excellent job at keeping her expression still, but her chest rose at the following words. Recognition.Â
âAh, I see you are well educated.â
âFew these days recognise death incarnate, and fewer still would consider it fortunate to meet them. Recent enough in the grand scheme, I have only been here a couple of months.â
Hmm... Something was missing. Oh.
â... I donât suppose there was an item near my body when you found it?âÂ
