Yes. It's the same for me. I haven't heard the voices of trolls or beasts since I arrived here. It's...quiet. Very quiet.
[He'd grown used to it, over a lifetime, the voices of trolls trying to get him to come to them, calling for help, mourning their lives, crying out for him to get closer so they can eat him...
It's a cacophony he'd developed a sort of numb immunity to, over the years, having been able to hear them since he can remember. It's the mark of a mage, where he comes from, and knowing that Vanessa can hear them to...it makes him wonder if she's a mage too.]
Back home, hearing the spirits meant that you were a mage. Do you have that sort of power?
[But when she mentions that connection to the underworld has been cut away in this place, his eyes widen slightly.]
I hadn't noticed that, probably because I haven't tried sending anything to the afterlife. But it might be worth a try, even if it's just sending them back to where they came from. At least they won't be here.
