Jeff's face brightened a little at the mention of fairy stories. "Grimm! Yes, I'm familiar with them. And you're right. This would make way more sense if it was one of their stories." It was comforting to talk about something familiar, and meeting someone who shared some of that familiarity even more comforting. "But yeah. People were avoiding me too. Like I was diseased or something. Maybe they didn't know this would happen to us, but they knew something was up. And I could never get a straight answer about it."
The question about dying startles him, and his tongue flicks out in thought before he answers. "Yeah, I was definitely alive last I remember. I was getting ready to go to a book signing. Next thing I know someone's dragging me out of a lake. I mean, I guess I could have had a heart attack or something?" And that certainly wasn't a pleasant thought. "But I don't think so. I hadn't thought of astral projection. Like you said, that might be why it was so relatively easy to transform. On the other hand...everything I've read about soul-travel said that it was more like being a ghost. This is...very, very solid."
