"I haven't, but I know there's a spell for it," which she unfortunately does not know. If only she'd taken more of an interest in wizardry when she'd been alive, maybe she'd be more useful to Stephen now. There's no sense lamenting it here, but it does make Ness even more determined to be helpful, to find him something interesting while they're in the Necropolis.
"Easier to talk to the dead when they're possessed by a spirit, I imagine, not just some perambulatory magic. Have you met a spirit, here? I really want to, just to see what they're like."
Despite her curiosity, Ness is not disrespectful of the space they're in. While she peers closely at the statues and vaults that surround them, she doesn't try to force entry to anything, and only touches to clear dust off name plates, to re-identify centuries-old decedents.
It's subtle, but there seems to be a downward slope to the ground beneath their feet. They very well might be wandering further down into the Necropolis, not back up whence they came.
