“What, no friends-and-family discount?” you ask.
“I ought to add a ‘shrunk me two inches shorter without asking’ tax, really,” Testa replies, taking your jingle coin-purse with a smile and wink.

“Don’t be a stranger, okay?” Costella adds. “Iz can, like, totally whip up a portal and bring you over any time you feel like it!”
“It WAS nice catching up,” Testa admits, and looks wistful.
“I’m sure Zith-Zi and Carazzi would be happy to see you, too.”
