( Emil himself would certainly be more weirded out had he not had another encounter with a skeleton-man here previously. It doesn't keep him from being disconcerted, or the grossed out glances he keeps throwing Héctor's way.

He's also pushing away restless thoughts of how he feels about his own supposed demise, and looking at a literal skeleton is making that so much harder. )

Please stop talking about dead people, forget I mentioned it. ( It's almost impossible for him to look at Héctor, most of his glances now directed at the ground. ) I don't think you're going to make it to wherever you want to be -- this is a "stuck here" deal, whatever haus you may be in.
