"Now, that just sounds like a kelpie," Cash said with a laugh. Maybe the watery ghosts were the muggles' way of explaining kelpies; they were certainly committed to trying to find reason in a world where magic was concealed from them, and it seemed like a logical train of thought to Cash. The magical world was practically full of things that could kill you.
He was almost relieved that Greengrass said the morbid thing; it meant that Cash could respond by being morbid too, without feeling too weird about reintroducing death to their conversation. "Maybe they want the company," he suggested, "Or maybe they're so angry about being dead that they want other people to be dead, too."
That was a little dark, wasn't it? At least it was a hypothetical, but Cash still felt a little itchy about how dark it had been. He made a vague gesture for the bottle.
