No, it's the same soul I was originally cursed with. They used the same ritual to restore it. But if the Demon Trials used a different ritual, then I could potentially get a different soul. It's all speculation at this point, though. Even if I researched it back home, there's no guarantee the information would be accurate. There are forces at play that like to screw with our source materials.
Hmm. Do you know if the plant is available in this world? Couldn't hurt to have some on hand just in case his power does work on my kind.
I'm not worried about risking my life for you. I was probably about ten minutes away from dying when I got sent here, anyway. Any time I get here is just a bonus. I was actually going to give you the same warning -- my friends tend to end up dead back home. I don't know if any of my enemies followed me here, but you should probably keep our association to yourself just in case. Although if you need help and you can't reach me, you can trust Buffy, Wesley, Giles, and Spike. I can vouch for all of them.
Thanks for pointing Klaus out to me. I'll keep an eye on him.
