Okay, that wasn't the reaction he was expecting there either...

"You, haven't heard of the Underworld either? But, you've heard of ghosts... Do ghosts simply freely roam the earth where you're from?" How incredibly odd, and inconvenient sounding. "Oh, but don't worry about the talisman. I understand Cthonic beings aren't exactly popular with a lot of the living." Which was a shame, in Zagreus's humble opinion.
