Clearly there is much more to a brothel than a place for people to seek out the carnal company of others, and whilst it's true that the necromancer would never use those particular services himself, he does loathe any gap in his knowledge. "I suppose if they are far from home or unable to return for some reason, it could be comforting."

Distracted soon enough by delivering due payment to Petronella in the form of scritches, Niki's smile is almost boyish to see her indulgently accepting his offerings; it's enough that the ghost of tension that wants to rise in him at the question settles with surprising ease almost instantly. "As long as it would not interrupt your work," he says. "But I will admit to having been intrigued by it."

I guess I never really faced my fears before
