"Ahhh... that feels good," thought Fiddlefaddle as he finally was able to put his feet up.  He had returned from his west-wise mission and told the Dowager and Baron all that he had found.  "There were no reports of Dragons from either the east nor the west.  Most I talked to had heard of Dragons but had never seen one," he had reported.  "From what I discovered, we are an isolated incident and are the only ones with this Dragon problem."

After a brief chat, the Baron thanked his BAT man for the wonderful job he had done and told him to rest up as they would be needing him for more errands when the group decided to take action.  It wasn't rest that Fiddlefaddle wanted, it was just to put his sore feet up.  That was exactly what he was going to do.

Upon arriving to his room, he found a basin of hot water sitting at the foot of his favorite chair steaming and calling for him to put his feet into.  "Brothers can be annoying at times, but sometimes..." he thought as he realized that Sneefle must have known he was back and would want to soak his feet.

Fiddlefaddle had just put his feet into the hot water and was starting to relax when he realized that he had not given the Dowager the item he had picked up on this last trip.  He had been at an Outie meeting trying to gather "intel". When the meeting had ended, they announced that it was customary to give a prize to a randomly selected attendee.  Now, Fiddlefaddle did not expect to be the one selected so when his name was called, it took him a minute to realize he was the winner.  The prize was a small doll with some accessories!  "This will be perfect for the Dowager's collection," he thought as he accepted the gift.

Goldilocks and the 3 Bears

As he was thinking about getting up and unpacking his satchel where the prize was stored, his sore feet took over... "It can wait" they told the rest of his body.  Smiling to himself, Fiddlefaddle nodded his head in agreement and decided.  "What is another hour glass turn.  It can wait... ," he thought as he wiggled his toes in the still hot water "before  I give it to her.  Aaaahhhhh!"
