I ought to, I suppose, but he passed judgment on me long ago. I won't go out of my way to offend, of course. But I fear warmth may be beyond me.As for the rescue... The impetus was Cal's, of course. He had the magical potions we used to make it all work, as well. I used one of them to disguise myself as Sarah Bernhardt, which got us into the camp and the tent where they prisoners were being held. The most important thing that happened to me there had nothing to do with the rescue. Bernhardt's mentor saw us and wanted to talk, and that's where I learned of the plot to poison a royal feast and murder most of the Egyptian Royal Family. After we returned from the rescue I spent the next day making sure that didn't happen.Anyway, I got Cal into the tent with another friend of mine, then talked to Bernhardt's mentor. Once I returned they were about ready to go, and it was a matter of getting out unseen. There were enough elixirs to get everyone out in various ways."She paused and thought for a moment.  "I'd say I was closer to an equal than an assistant, but considering what the writer of that story saw, that would have been his interpretation and I can't expect otherwise."</blockquote>
