[ just admit you care about him, gosh.
dumb ass sounds pleasantly surprised at the idea of looking up silver: he totally hadn't thought about that. ]
That's a smart idea! It is a city full of dwarves and mining, you'd think that silver would be easy to come by. I'll look around.
How are things back in the City?

[ Admitting she cares is a step that’s going to take a lot of honesty and alcohol, and Shura doesn’t have nearly enough alcohol for that ]
If you find some rare ore or something, bring it back for Amy.
[ Sure, bring the goliath a souvenir, that’s what this is all about. ]
Things are about the same here. I’m about to start showing those farmers how to set up wards, that panic is startin’ to get on my nerves.

Make certain to save any scraps of silver, no matter how small. I should be able to shape it into a dagger or something for a firearm.
[ and this is how Shura learns that Strange has a gun. ]
It's a pity those farmers are so jumpy. A cool head is best in this sort of scenario.

A firearm— [ who the fuck gave strange a gun ] Don’t tell me you ran into that cat?
[ She’s too distracted to comment on his little instruction to save every little scrap of silver, but also, who is he to talk about the farmers keeping their cool?? ]

Wait, how do you know about that cat?
[ because Shura must have run into it as well, Strange puts the pieces together. ]

It did. Did it also give you a shard of mirror?
[ this has gone from 'worrying' to 'REAL fuckin weird.' ]

Something odd happened when I stared into it for a while. I simply want to know if it affects yours as well.
My reflection changed—and I'm not going to tell you how. I want you to see for yourself.
I don't like the sound of that.
[This sounds like some weird practical joke, but whatever. She won't turn her courier off when she goes to fetch the mirror, so he'll get to hear her shuffling around for a bit, then quiet as she looks at the her reflection, trying to figure it out.]
I know there's some kind of spell on it, but I ain't seeing anything odd.
[is this another dumb joke]

Keep staring at it! You've got to stare at it until you think you'll blink.
Seriously?
[Fine, fine, she'll humor him. She'll stare at it until she blinks, expecting something stupid by this point since he's not telling her anything, and--
Well, she sees it, scales on her face. Strange will get to hear Shura swear, the sound of the mirror clattering to the floor. It doesn't break, but Shura's too stunned to say much of anything for a moment.]
The hell--

[ He's at least assuming that Shura swearing and dropping the mirror on the floor is a sign for 'yep, I saw scales on my face as well.' ]
The more things happen to us, the more certain I become in my theory of the dragons reviving us.

I received electricity magic like Logistykon's after my courier fell apart to reveal a white dragon scale. It must be them.
[ he says, a little insistently. ]
[ he says, a little insistently. ]
That's--
[Shura has a scale of her own, hidden somewhere in her room.]
I'm not sayin' that it ain't them or that it ain't their magic. If a regular person can leave behind a ghost, imagine what a big dragon like them would leave behind. But I don't think it's just them involved. When did you ever hear about a dragon gettin' involved with necromancy?

I haven't heard of anything like that, [ he begrudgingly admits. ] But there's too many factors involved with us and our resurrection that point to their involvement.
[ needlessly defensive, thy name is Jonathan Strange. ]
I just wish we would get actual answers at some point, not just hypotheses.
