"Why couldn't we bring Dorothy?" Norman wondered, sighing. He had grown much closer to the ghost songstress over the past few weeks and had developed strong feelings for her. "She always sings about wanting to explore the outside world."
"She's also incredibly noisy…" Shade muttered, fidgeting with his long fingers. "I would rather… not have her around if we need to… work stealthily, okay?"
"I agree. She's noisy," Sailor nodded.
"Auntie Dorothy's songs are beautiful. I'm sure she could make good money singing in the streets!" Lisette said brightly.
"I agree, but that would probably attract too much unwanted attention," Elayne replied. "They might even try to kidnap her. People in this Realm have little regard for Undead like us. Unless we're very strong, we'll never be respected or treated as people. So everyone, stay careful."
