[voice] open to both courts

[Orlando had turned on the video first, finding the idea more natural, even if he's using his real (real?) body instead of speaking through a sim. But the idea of talking about this face-to-face, face-to-face with strangers, made him freeze up. Death is a pretty personal thing, especially your own. So he switched to voice, trying to give himself a layer of distance. Personal as it may be, he'd still like some answers on this.]

So... [There's a pause as he takes in a deep breath and lets it out as a sigh. So much for a strong start.]

How many of you are dead? I mean, died in your world, but...came back here?

It can't just be me, right? [He tries to make that last part sound like a joke. It doesn't really work.]

Death does not seem to be a barrier here. As far as I know I am still alive back home, though unsure of my fate. But there is another from my home here whose death sparked a war, and yet he is alive here. [And in a different manner than what she's used to.]

Not all men stay dead where I'm from.

They do where I'm from.

But...shardbearers don't come back to life if they're killed here, do they?

I know an Unseelie traded his shard for something that a Seelie had. I believe he is still here, but now he is one of them, trapped here. But this is all secondhand information, so I am not sure how accurate that is.
