( Istredd's experience is not dissimilar, although his colleagues were usually more interested in magic than in the type of research he got into. But they did have these times, drinking and conversing, but it has been some time since those days. He has been on independent research too long, his home with all its people within it seems less familiar than it used to be. The castle is putting him in mind of it.
He waits patiently for Urianger to arrange his space to something more comfortable to him. While he has seen the very tall and unique-looking man before, he hasn't heard him talk, so Istredd is a little startled by that form of dialogue. He thinks the only time he has heard thees and thous is sometimes within literature or theater, so it takes a moment to adjust. Sometimes royalty does lean into the formal speech, so he wonders for a moment if that is what this man is, royalty.)
Your height does make you stand out. I haven't had a lot of experience with being towered over.
( He smiles faintly to go with that dry comment. Not that they have stood next to each other to have that towering, it's more that if they were to stand side to side, that would be the case. At 6'3, Istredd is not used to looking up to most people. He settles into a chair across from Urianger with his own tea, setting the books on his lap as he is not about to put them on the floor.)
I am one of the Summoned, I also just arrived. We must have done so around the same time. Depending on the amount of power it takes to successfully pull off the spell, it would make sense they cannot do it every day but in segments.
( Istredd has learned that they come in handfuls occasionally, and it makes sense. He is a mage himself; they create portals easily, but this requires far more than a portal to pull off.)
