        “I suppose it would be impolite of me
          to not compliment you on your hair
          and eyes, but with that aside          
          welcome to the Underworld.”

              straight to business as usual.

               congratulations on capturing her absolutely dumbstruck –
               what the hell she’s doing in the underworld of all places,  oh,  she’s
               got no clue.   (  her last heroic, self-sacrificing act was – jeez, quite
               a while ago so that couldn’t have led to this and – hey! it was heroic
               and self-sacrificing – if she was truly dead,     she wouldn’t be here,
               now, would she?  )
