good afternoon , i greeted back , smiling once more at him a little bit too late . and im so excited that i can hardly wait . his mind seemed to rise and float above his body . he asked , but his reason could not give him an answer . she said , maybe with a little too much hope in her voice . i offered it to her with my claws . the girl calmed down when i came back . when he arrived at his wagon , noahs foreman sat waiting on its gate .
