"City folk" is a bit wide of the mark, but it works. He makes a low noise at the back of his throat and wipes his hands off on his cloak. He's tired of moving corpses all day. In theory, he could... well. He could make them throw themselves on the fire, but that would reveal a power he's not ready to bring out just yet. Besides, most people have an absurd, irrational reaction to necromancy.

"Still, better alive with a horrid stench than dead and not being able to smell anything at all," he replies with a shrug. Pleasant thought, but he's spent eons avoiding death. He's going to keep doing it here.

"Now we just have to hope there's someone out there to see it."
