Doesn't look like she's got it in this picture. Might be good for us.

[shaft]

... I don't know, I don't trust it.

[ He looks away, glancing at the other portraits. ]

I guess some of your buddies are up there too?

[battling]

[ Look at this child. ]

That's Southern Shortie.

[shaft]

[ A baby! ]

Southern Shortie? That's his name?

[battling]

His name's Mitile Flores, but that's my nickname for him.

[shaft]

Is he a fan of it?

[battling]

He doesn't complain about it.

[shaft]

Really? In my experience short people usually take issue with being called short.

[battling]

He is short.

[shaft]

... Even so.

[ he looks amused ]

[battling]

Should I start callin' ya short?

[shaft]

[ closes his eyes ]

See, if I were short, I would take issue with that.

[battling]

Ya can be any height ya want.

[with magic all things are possible]

[shaft]

I don't think that's true for most people...?

[battling]

's true for wizards.

[shaft]

So you picked this height for yourself?

[battling]

It's a good one.

[shaft]

... How's that?

[battling]

What? I just like it.

[shaft]

You don't want to be taller?

[battling]

Why should I?

[shaft]

... Just to see.

[battling]

That's dumb. I'd do it to mess with somebody.

[shaft]

You can change the heights of others?

[battling]

Sure. That guy from the west made a guy a mouse a couple times.
