Training-- [phantom's speech is momentarily cut off as he whips his head back around to look at the figure stalking through the house, though it seems as if it has not heard him. this is a reprieve, but he still stays crouched by the intact door.
he's hiding, indeed, and his voice being soft is a boon, so that they're not heard.]
For what purpose do you asking? My training, it takes many forms, and but all of them, I prefer to keep in the dark.
[if anything, that speech might have just shown that he's trained in theatre, especially with the appearance of his manifestation-- a greyish ghoul with black crystal covering its neck and hands, a mask fused to its featureless face, and an elaborate costume that focuses heavily on catching attention rather than any sort of practicality.
ruefully, phantom notes that the being before him has managed to retain the tufted ears and short tail that he himself lost upon arriving in this world, and he finds himself envious. especially since there is an awkward hole in his trousers where his tail should be, hidden under his cloak and suit.]
