"Witches eat men, not Dragons," said Ina. "They don't even eat men any more."
"It was a male Dragon," replied Kier.
"OK, you need to stop being crazy and find out what we're going to do now. Preferably, we can get away from here as soon as possible.
Kier nodded, jerking his head up and down, eyes wide. "Right, they might know where the lair is. I'll talk to them. Can you keep them from eating me?
"They're not going to eat you."
"Good. I'm counting on you."
Kier stepped out from the shadows of the darkened alley and opened his arms to announce in a loud voice. "I am Kier Wenchthrall and I am not your lunch."
"I don't think he's done being crazy," said Peppermint.
