"Yes, all the time, mostly when the whelps back home have been acting up, and she is complaining none of them were as well behaved as you. And yes, I did die. It was painful, and I wouldn't advise trying it yourself. The... other effects from it were kinda worth it, but not what I would have asked for. And unlike then, I finally earned a surname, Draiss Arcaniss. A pleasure to finally meet you in person. However, I would ask that you not let your patron know I am here, I am just visiting with my familiar's family, and her knowing I am here would make me have to go through certain formalities, and it would be faster and easier this way."
