DM: 18. Yeah. He seems fine. As a magical snake, it can transform back and forth. It doesn't appear to require food or water when it's in its belt form. It wouldn't necessarily be conscious of the time in between. So as far as Simon's concerned, it's been a very short period of time.
Player: Kynan.
DM: "Yes, Vax?"
Player: You are happy here-- happier here?
DM: "Very."
Player: I'm very glad for that. You seem happy. And everybody deserves a second chance. And I guess what I'm asking is: can I have my snake back?
DM: "Of course. Yes! Here, I mean he was-- I was just borrowing it for a while."
Player: Okay. I feel silly. I mean, I gave it to you a year ago or so, but, I don't know, I missed him. I think I missed him.
DM: "Okay. Yeah."
