Dragonhaven (2007)
“And I actually helped with some of the clean-and patch-up. It was weirdly exhilarating. It was because we were out in the middle of nowhere and I didn’t have to watch Lois every minute. And also because I was doing something that both was not about Lois and was about helping somebody else out for a change. Even my time at the Institute, the last couple of years, had been about Lois really—about pretending everything was normal, to try and keep her safe and secret—even if most of the work I did ...was also useful that had been almost beside the point.Of course like a good parent I quickly learned to shift my worries to the present situation so now that we’d got here and weren’t immediately leaving again I was afraid she’d eat something that would poison her the third or fourth time she went by it because it had got familiar (or that she’d been snatching mouthfuls right along and the third or fourth time the toxic accumulation would finally get her) or get lost because she hadn’t learned where the new edges of her new territory were or blunder into something like a herd of no-nonsense Bighorn that would recognize her as a predator even though she didn’t know it yet herself, and stomp her to death.MoreLess
