Re: Caleb & Theo
"Our familiars work a bit differently from what I've heard from others, so I'd say that's true." They certainly didn't have fey familiars, which was just very, very cool. "And he needed to be an octopus once. Very nice." He wasn't sure who Caduceus was, but he wondered something. "Can Caduceus check in with all animals, or just fey familiars? I would like to know if Helios is content enough as a horse. He seems to be, but I can't communicate with him that way."
The underwater situations didn't seem so odd. He assume Caleb and his friends had ways of breathing underwater. Magic was wondrous that way.
"We celebrate the same general holidays that this hotel seems to. Christmas, Easter...were you here for either of those? I can't keep track of who was or wasn't. I was here for Easter and the murderous bunnies but not for whatever happened at Christmas. Most of our holidays started as pagan rituals and evolved over the years, and I know wizards of other countries likely celebrate different holidays than we do in Britain." It could be that he was just not that religious, as it hadn't been something his father had ever been interested in. Unless you counted devotion to the Dark Lord as a religion, which he supposed might be true in it's own way. "I will have to do some research. I'm sure I've got some sort of books on it."
