‘I pushed the door open and looked in, nervously, because that was better than going past it without knowing what was inside’ 

‘broad with the weight of a man who nearly lived in armor’ 

I love the Dragon 😂. Also, I love that it is kind of giving Howl’s Moving Castle vibes. 

"Why would he want to insult you?" I timidly asked. “Didn't he come to- to ask you for some magic?" 

“No, he came to enjoy the view of the Wood," the Dragon said. “Of course he came for magic…” 

I tried to be glad for her. I was mostly sorry for myself. 

“It comes, I suppose, of spending too much time indoors, and forgetting that living things don’t always stay where you put them.”

They looked at me and saw someone out of a story, who might ride by and be stared at, but didn’t belong in their lives at all.

Sitting like a mouse under an owl’s tree. 

Ohhh how I love it when a group of people is resting from their travels and just all doing their own thing like drinking some water etc, and suddenly someone has disappeared 😭😨!!!! Scary

The Wood was silent as no forest ever was
