Dragonsong is a book written by Anne McCaffrey featuring a young girl called Menolly, whose dream is to make music and sing. But her father is incredibly strict as women aren’t generally allowed to sing. So after a tragic incident leading to her severely injuring her hand and no longer being able to play, she runs away from home and lives alone in a cave with 9 fire lizards as her friends. When she is caught outside during a thread fall she is rescued by a patrolling dragonrider, and taken back to the weyr, where she eventually leaves to go to the harper hall to pursue her dream of music.
“Does he hear what I’m telling you?” Menolly whispered anxiously in T’gellan’s ear. “Yes, so be careful how you speak of him. He’s very sensitive.” “I haven’t said anything, have I, that would hurt his feelings?” “Menolly!” T’gellan looked back at her, grinning, “I was teasing you.” “Oh!”
I chose this quote because She is talking to a dragonrider about his dragon. Literally a gigantic dragon up to 45 meters in length and height, and she is worried about hurting his feelings. I just thought it was really funny. Also I was really struggling to find another quote.
