*Is* this how it happens?

[for_tradition]

There's a woman in the Bar proper. She's commandeered a medium-ish sized table and covered it with things: books, pieces of parchment, notes. There's a plate of biscuits and a pot of tea. She has one pair of glasses tucked on her shining brown hair, and she's wearing another, and she's humming to herself.

She is also, as a certain cavalier might say, mega-dead... but she doesn't seem at all perturbed by it.

"They are both alive," Wei Wuxian confirms swiftly. "And they are doing well."

(Magnus whooshes out a sigh of relief at that.)

He leans to get a better look at Abigail's notes. "Your ability to control thanergy, you mean?"

"I have even heard," she confides in Magnus, "that Gideon the Ninth speaks, here. You might finally be able to tell her that knock-knock joke you've been holding on to."

She nods to Wei Wuxian's question. "Yes. Theoretically, a necromancer just on the verge of death would be at their absolutely most powerful...and most useless, of course, as one would only have access to the thanergy bloom for a second or less before succumbing. But being dead, in a place which rewrites the rules so you are almost alive...I have so much research to do!"

She does not look at all put out by this proposition.
