Is it not that bad to be trapped somewhere, then? Depending on where you're trapped? I suppose it depends on how much you like the place you're trapped in, Widget says. And how much you like whoever you're stuck there with, Poppet adds, kicking his black boot with her white one.
Erin Morgenstern
Most maidens are perfectly capable of rescuing themselves in my experience, at least the ones worth something, in any case.
Erin Morgenstern
