...which caused me to note something that hadn't occurred to
me before: The Narr is capable of astral travelling only after
he's had his whole-body transplant. The dumb explanation would
be "it's a power Silk has had all along but never knew about
because he never slept around any sleeping inhumi," which is
possible but not very plausible. A somewhat better explanation:
it's somehow due to the fact that the Narr is not attached as
firmly to the body of Silk as most people are to their bodies.
