Sleeping Dragon I'm your puppet

The boy doesn’t hold on to the stick as well as she thought he might and her heart sinks when he cries. Thuringwethil whimpers a few times, inching closer to nudge him with her nose again to try and get him to stop. When the attempts become futile, she nudges the stick back in front of his face in hopes taking it back might silence him once more. Hoping it’s a simple case of being mad about her actions, rather than a pain in his stomach against, she encourages him to take it from before she sets off another wave of panic in herself.
