I can imagine. Well, no, I can't really, but every time I see her it seems she's grown another year or five in the month since I saw her last.
And I'm making a careful note of the date and time, and will most solemnly remind you in the dog days that you wished for them. It's been quite chilly up here, too, and every time we think it's about to dry out, it decides to storm again. One of the hatchlings that we're hand-raising -- his mum rejected him, the poor love -- thinks rain is the most fascinating thing in the world, so even when he's soaking, he's out there trying to catch the drops or flame them so they stop attacking him. I can't decide if it's adorable or hysterical -- or both -- but watching a hatchling in the "trip over his own wings and feet every time he moves" stage flaming the raindrops until they boil in midair is quite the show!
Oh, and Em says the saffron you sourced for him is better than anything he can get through official channels, and he's most carefully not asking where you got it, but if you can get more he'll buy up your whole lot at whatever you're asking for it. (It's apparently part of one of the flameproof potions we soak our gear in.)
