(01) [The food is lovely, but the magic is strange- neither Free nor Charter, though the magic in Caer Glaem reminds her more of the latter.
Still, she's careful not to overindulge on wine, or the food, preferring to make polite conversation with the other guests. They say they're here for a war, but Sabriel seeks more information- particularly about the Unseelie. She doesn't want to get dragged into someone else's war, but some of the stories sound suspiciously similar to Free Magic.]
(03) [Bells were Sabriel's preferred instrument- but the ones she'd arrived with were also necromantic tools, too powerful to be used simply to practice with.
Luckily she'd found replacements, and Caer Glaem's bailey is soon echoing with the chimes of bells, the notes weaving together to form a mournful song.]
(Locket-voice) I'm still not entirely sure why I was brought here, but since I am... is any part of the Drabwurld troubled by the Dead? I am the Abhorsen- [And here, the confidence in Sabriel's voice wavers] That is, a counter-necromancer. I don't particularly care about whatever the courts are fighting over, but laying the Dead to rest is my responsibility. Leaving my own world doesn't change that.
