He was silent for a minute, as if searching for something."I meant what I said back there."His voice hung in the air like mist for what seemed like ages."You aren't useless. Mapleshade made me freeze under her glare, yet you laughed in her face like she was nothing but a fly."He paused, a soft rustling coming from where he sat, as if he was moving."You are really brave. Braver then I ever will be."
