Is there a reason they're so rare? Like it seems like it'd be a lot harder to kill a skeleton familiar than an alive one. Which seems like it'd be real traumatic?

[both of the dragons swing their heads up to glare at Dusk, spiky hackles raised and bristling. eliza's smile wavers.]

Um, it would be, but that's not really a factor we need to consider. There's protections for familiars.

[schrodingerscockroach]

....no offense? Is that offensive?

[What is that wavering smile?] There are?

[bowtiedbones]

It's... gauche?

[schrodingerscockroach]

...which part? Because I think I said something bad and it's hard to say which.

[bowtiedbones]

The last two parts.

[schrodingerscockroach]

....so dead and killing familiars? Bringing up alive versus dead?

[bowtiedbones]

[Isolde leans over Eliza's shoulder and hisses]

Discussing familiars on the merits of how easy they are to kill or not, especially paired with the question of how traumatic that would be... That's really, really tactless.

[schrodingerscockroach]

...ah.

Yeah, now that you say it, that makes a lot of sense.

Sorry.

[bowtiedbones]

[pets Isolde's muzzle, shushing her]

It's okay, you didn't know.

[schrodingerscockroach]

I can be pretty tactless if I'm not watching it. And morbid curiosity.

[bowtiedbones]

I don't mind morbid curiousity normally, just um. Not as applied to me and mine.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Yeah, that's fair.

[bowtiedbones]

Mm. To sort of answer your question though, if one of them died unnaturally, I would have to be hospitalized. Probably immediately, since none of you have the right magic to ward the aftershocks.

[schrodingerscockroach]

What kind of magic would that be? Just to keep an ear out for it.

[Since it can also be KNOWING the person has the magic and people being all cagey about things at times.]
