[ Brandon is not a great magus. He would be the first to admit as much. He is young and too unfocused, pulled in so many directions by people who take advantage of his work ethic, and by his real masters, whose agenda spans centuries.
Yet even at his most raw and lackadaisical, he would feel them, feel the House, as he does now though he strapped on as many blinders as he could before so much as stepping foot over the property line. All the death: not only the stagnant fermentation of bodies upon bodies, cruelty layered upon madness for years and years, not only the vagrant passing of spirits and echoing mutters of ghosts, but vivid darkness, resentful death. Still kicking, as it were.
But he considerately neglected to mention he was a necromancer, and if they don't pick it up off of him, Brandon supposes it may be for the best. It's better to play slightly wide-eyed scholar, with only a firm grasp of diplomacy to indicate he's not a complete naif. ]
Master Morrison mentioned more than one cousin. [ In keeping with that, he still uses "master" with innocence. It would be delightful if she directed him to stop, but he doesn't think she will. ] I would hate to be so rude as to leave someone out.
