Ptolemy wasn't old, although he looked old.

Summoning Queezle rather than Affa or Penrenutet would not have made any difference, they were all the same relative level.

shush.
Queezle has hidden powers.

Indeed. Getting killed powers.

<_<
No, she had wonderful secret powers that did not involve getting killed.
Give her a break, you're not going to last thousands of years. She did.

Was Queezle even IN Egypt at that time... Nope, I checked the book and she wasn't. (PG, page 130-131)

Yeah, it said she was a relatively young djinni.

Crud, I was wrong. But, I still think that she wasn't in service to Ptolemy at the time.

About what? My statement was supporting yours.

Oh. Sry, peoples, I was wrong about being wrong. (wait a minute...)

In other words, you were right. :D

I think I may have missed the point of that conversation.
But fine, Queezle wasn't there.

Okay, so all around we all agree that I'm insane. Back on topic, do you agree with me? (Not on the Queezle thing, the Ptolemy's death thing.)

Which thing about Ptolemy's death?
How Barti would have fought to the death?

Yep, that one.

Perhaps. Barti does have some strong self-preserving instincts though.

It's a face off! Self preseverance Vs. Respect/friendship
Personally I'm voting for the latter, 3,000 some odd years is a long time to be wearing someone's form out of respect.

Well, Barti would have. he has respect for Ptolemey, he just hides it.

Look, about Queezle. I know she wasn't in service to Ptolemy. I'm saying she should have been, she would have saved him with her Queezleness. Of course.

Okay, you got me there. But on the Barty-not-good-enough so call in the Queezle thing, hey, remember you are talking to a serious Barty fan here! <_< (If it sounded rude, I didn't mean for it to.)

I am Barti's greatest fan. But the odds were all wrong. Barti and Queezle would have saved Ptolemy, working together because they are Queezle. Get it?

Ooooohhhhhh.
