	"Yeah, lots of differences, and that was just talking for a little bit. He seems to be getting along ok, but yeah, I'd guess its been rough." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah." A sheepish smile. "I threw Scarab in the fountain. She was so affected, all she did was scramble to pocket all the coins." She shrugs. "One of the boys back at the tower is a telepath. He helped a little." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
