"Talk? Just so you know, I won't be distracted so easily, tiny assassin." The zombie says, bracing.

Trying to keep your voice just loud enough for the trio, you tell the zombie you think that is your daughter Tamako, and ask the changeling where Kamiko is.

"Uh... Above us I think? Up in a circus tent?" Tamako replies. "I mean she's strong, so she'll be fine. Right?"

"Why would you care where or how she is? Isn't having your one true love around enough?" The zombie says with an indignant pout.

"What the heck, Dad? I need a mom not another dad! I want siblings!" Tamako says in an angry whisper.

"Oh, you probably don't recognize me. We've met before, remember? In the bedroom? With that creature and the broom?" The zombie says crouching down. "First you see me as a skeleton and now a zombie... When your dad gets me a proper body you'll see how beautiful I am."

"Ah... Oh. The ghost." Tamako says, unsure of how to speak with Camelia. Reluctantly she continues, "Well... Well I guess I could team up with you for now."

"What are you doeng, Pierrot? Just finish zis!" The cat says from the crowd, soon followed by cheers from the other weapon wielding clowns.
