I haven't spoken to him. Outside of Hogwarts house-elves don't talk nearly so much, and when they do it's not always very nice, or very helpful. But I suppose I could have and not known it. I'm not very good at telling house-elves apart, unless they wear different things, and all the elves at the great houses wear uniforms, and of course they do at Hogwarts too, only at Hogwarts they get to customise them some.
