"Go back?!" the feline snaps at the lamia.  "Why would I ever want to do that?  I finally have a degree of freedom after<span style="font-style: italic">years</span>of us being nothing but a plight on each other.  Believe it or not but mortals are designed to house beings from the plane of shadows, and we aren't meant to be 'housed' in such a manner.  Besides, you won't have to worry about others seeing me; I'm only 'real' through Synys since I'm from the shadow plane.  To you all I'm here, but I cannot be sensed by other creatures or physically contact them in any way until my other half performs a ritual each day."  Her attention is then caught by the apparently very laid-back minstrel.  "No, you wouldn't, but I've seen you.  I already know all of you through Synys' eyes."<br/><br/>(OOC:  The regular rules for summoning the creature each morning and likely needing to not have her around in specific places (exactly like Linda said) seemed like it would limit possibilities with roleplaying her; since this is meant to mostly be a roleplay and this idea would still make the class follow its mechanics I changed it a little.  If Ambrose has a problem with this just ignore that part of mt post and I'll go with the regular rules for it.)
