Maybe it's his own method of self-distraction, but...
He huffs out a breath that otherwise would have been longer, slower than it needed to be, shoulders sagging in a way that seems at odds with his overall unperturbed demeanour. "Gods, I would hope there's no battles." Two wars across the span of three years, nevermind what that last resistance against Grima qualified as. There's emphasis on the way they say fights, versus the way they do battles, but whatever meaning they attach to it likely stems from contexts he's not privy to. He thinks he understands that any would be conflicts are probably more along the lines of personal squabbles than anything world shattering.
That's fine. That's fine, even if his mental eyebrow raise turns physical. That is quite the glare.
"...Not Risen?" Or- Deadlords, or anything of the sort, as a sympathy ploy or some other form of psychological warfare. But from the way they speak of them, it implies they could think, could act of their own accord. Were autonomous entities in their own right, unless there were in fact some necromancer around for the entirety of this child's relationship with their skeleton family who hadn't bothered to make their presence known, for some unlikely reason. Doubtful, in other words.
Well, if this is where the dead go, why wouldn't there be skeletons. Maybe their appearances here depends partially on the manner of death. Slightly belatedly it occurs to him he might want to define the term, but he leaves it be- he's mildly curious what the child makes of it otherwise.
