Talked to the mods about it - she can animate any corpse she runs across, and speak to anyone who died in the game's reality. Which means she'll probably be chatting up any corpses she runs across while exploring.

Short answer? She'll get a LOT of usage out of her skills, so hopefully they can get a friendship going before he figures that out. She's never been in a situation where necromancy was frowned upon, so she doesn't really know how to deal with people getting upset about it.
