:All right.: Not that she's a particularly good person to celebrate something with herself, but it seems like a good sign that he wants anyone here at all, however briefly. :...What is calling me?

She probably should wait to bring that up but she can only hold back so much of that paranoia, though in this case it's inflected with exasperation. Psychopomps and any other manifestations of Death she meets tend to be a little affronted by her existence. Even the Shadow-Lover, who treats it as a true friendly concern and not an in to telling her to pass on, always has to take a moment to ask about her burdens.
