[When he calls it petty, Henry ends up hanging onto that. He'd claim forever that he doesn't really 'get' revenge... But he also remembers quite distinctly the things these people fought against, and has a grasp of the sorrows they must carry for it. Namely, the Monsters who were robbed of their agency for so long.
But this man also makes a good point about transmutation. Henry starts there with an airy hum.]
Huh. I never thought about someone trying to wear her skin so they could pretend to BE her, postmortem! Yep, I can see that working out. That's not nearly as fun as raising her from the dead, if you ask me, but it's bunches easier. Even a sham of a symbol of her's enough to stoke the flames of her cause.
Sounds like a triple-win for captivity, then! We get her magic powers, nobody can necromance her, and nobody can impersonate her. Still, I don't really blame Dorchacht for wanting her dead. Some folks lived their whole lives as slaves under her. I guess that's a solid reason to make her pay, right?
[He says, cheerfully as ever, as if it doesn't affect him.]
