He and I developed a rapport over our magical differences, and part of that involves sharing stories about home. I've found him to have a good sense of judgment, and as far as I know, he hasn't spilled a single one of my many dark secrets.

[ha ha ha!!! it's a joke!!! he doesn't have dark secrets, remember, he's just a silly skeleton!!!]

Is there... a reason you're interrogating me? Which you're doing a great job of, by the way.
