"I am! These two rescued me and Tony from the Cave of Unpleasant Surprises a few years back, now I am just sort of around!"

"Then I asked Bella out to dinner but she is gay! And then Tony hit on me. And now I am - sort of around! I give the littler princesses magic lessons periodically when Bella is too neck-deep in politics or they're curious about something more my specialties than hers."
