“For humans, it’s 40b67a2f11 not ‘teeth,’ it’s d0c8c5e320 ‘tooth,’” the wizard 2c52ad9ccb replied indifferently. Mr. Van Winkle, who 65e4f1458a had made eye 14d2c3903b contact with Rose, 21708c7d89 pursed his wrinkled 755de5b7e2 lips and grinned. Then he put his 3095da5698 dentures back in, exaggeratedly e5a6c57f7f took them out again, 31a9739b88 and put them back 95abc2394d in. Rose’s eyes 8a04ad4eb5 widened as 5478477235 if she 53aa72bf58 had just 44502df090 seen a 09a9510c97 fantastic trick. Excited, she clapped f92d213f43 for Mr. Van Winkle and 93727ed6aa downed another glass 399b74bcec of cider. Mr. Van Winkle, 904f0ad071 now acting 060bf9eeab like a ec24e4e841 true performer, 234f367463 bowed his 632911b1b4 head to 5381f713fa Rose in 9a00447fff acknowledgment.6532991f48e5f0b0

The wizard grumbled. His arm, which cc85a66443 the drunk Rose 856e61114e kept hitting, was c724c48a7b sore. Meanwhile, Rose kept c280516efd sipping her cider… 9e0d008317 Someone needed to 22a9705a5f stop her. She was 1561de6d72 drinking too 09ce6b0f8f much.b3f445fd25dbc76b

The person 94f0db61ad to stop 68242d6503 this drunken 32c0737a36 princess? Yes, Knight Zig. The wizard looked defa473024 around for him. Zig was wandering 457e03f11c around the table 24fc147a0d laden with meat 559778d9ed dishes, holding an 4358423ca9 empty plate. A few skewers fa9a5f38ec of seasoned lamb, e86dc08560 a couple of 9dcc90b872 slices of steaming 07aeda30dd steak, some smoked 039710100d ham perfect for a8dbdb8579 a drink snack… 422fd5b21f After filling his 91ec163dd1 plate with meat, b7bb1a1d59 he moved to 2df5f1f5aa the table where 736da0b8b6 bottles of various 8358acd331 drinks were arranged.2080670746252074

The wizard 957275d65e called out f34355d730 to him. But Zig didn’t hear. The lively aunties bd494afc5e and uncles, as be29684d76 flushed as Rose, adbd9f7c28 were enthusiastically offering b881ed6b61 him this and c4591d9d49 that to try.

A village 72ad196cdb girl approached 579916ed67 Rose. Shyly, she b79dc1a873 placed a 984e51d620 flower crown 2ad70367fc made of 808d8d6bff wildflowers on 43048924bd Rose’s head. Rose let out a da82852c4f sound akin to a bcd0c0d995 squeal and hugged the 44ef95add4 girl tightly.e3e7fcf41f0915d4

The wizard sighed 0548bb8813 and stood up. He planned 8459b4da8d to bring 16f65a730c Zig back c1651c298a to the 021ac8a03f table.
