"People? Like she'll tell someone to get her something that's near her rather than getting it herself."

"I assume not doing that also counts relevantly as disrespect?"

"Yeah."

"Anything else known to," hm, "be provocative?"

"Disrespecting her shades, though I'm not sure if that will apply to you."

"I mean, I'd rather not find out the hard way. What constitutes disrespecting a shade?"

"Insulting it or like, trying to move through them like they're not there? That also won't work but I saw someone try it once."

"So I guess I'd better get out of the way if someone looks about to get themselves killed like that."

"Yeah.... that's um. Huh."

"I have some reason to believe I'm more aware than most shades, probably most of them are not responsible for not getting out of the way after this incident even if they were there for it."

"Yeah, I'm just not used to people in the birdcage other than me caring about that sort of thing."

"I'm not a convict, I'm a Ward who died to Leviathan."

"Oh... did she just uh, summon you, for the first time recently?"

"Yes but also I just died recently. Though apparently Dragon's not allowed to tell anyone outside the Birdcage about how this implies that she can grab dead capes from the outside world."

"... Oh. That's um.... I'm really sorry."

"Thanks. I guess normally the shades don't talk to you so if this is happening constantly you wouldn't know."

"Yeah. I also haven't been here that long."

Nod. "Any idea why you're on etiquette tutor duty?"

"I'm not sure, but it might be because I'm the person who would best get along with a hero in her cell block?"

"Who else is here that I might've heard of - I'm from Brockton Bay if that helps."

"Oh, I think Bakuda was captured there recently?"

"Yeah, I know of her, though of course I don't know what she looks like in a prison uniform."

"I'm not sure when you arrived but I think the Fairy Queen was having tea with her shortly before she called me here?"

"Oh, her."

"There's um. A betting pool on when the Fairy Queen will kill her."
