[Blue withdraws his hand when the stranger tenses up from the telepathy. beyond that, though, he remains knelt beside him, watching with wide, searching eyes.]
You think there's such a thing?
[or does he know it is? if that's the case, then they're less alike than Blue first sensed.]
[ He starts dusting some of the sand off of his robes. Given how wet they are, it's more or less a lost cause, but he's going to at least try. ]
My House prefers to think of it as a science. I suppose it depends on how you study it. [ he looks over his glasses at the kneeling man, curious. ] You have heard of necromancy, haven't you?
[ it's only the basis for an entire galactic empire. ]
[ never even heard the word? that's surprising, given how far-reaching the Nine Houses are. Palamedes doesn't much care for intergalactic politics, but even he knows that most people have heard of necromancy. Which means this person must be from...somewhere else. Somewhere very far away.
Luckily, Palamedes genuinely enjoys talking about this stuff. ]
I'm Palamedes. Necromancy is -- well, generally speaking, it's the manipulation of life energy and death energy. Some necromancers work on bone, others on flesh, and others on spirits. I've studied all three branches to some degree, although I specialize in the energy found in objects. Ghosts-in-the-thing, if you like.
[Blue stares, plainly unversed in all of that, and just as plainly unsettled by the notions raised. the shoe's on the other foot: this must be what it's like to be a plain human hearing about the abilities he himself has.
for how disturbing the content, this person speaks so effortlessly, without an air of ill intent. it's very strange.
Blue shakes his head slightly, looking troubled.]
That sounds more like...something out of a dread fairy tale than anything real. [...says the albino man using telepathy on a foreign beach.]

necromancy? a kind of science?]
I've...never heard that word before.
[though if he has, he doesn't have the memory anymore. consequence of the science he does know.]
Who are you?
