Stall. We're doing it. Q and Paul bro out on their balloon and they get to a frozen waterfall and Paul asks if the Master of Air will come there and Q's like "Maybe" and Paul's like "Wow, I'm starting to believe this here companion I've acquired doesn't know squat" and then Q's like "I don't expect him to be here, but I expect our GUIDE to be here," like whoop de doo why did you waste our time like that. Stop with the cute, get with the plot. Why must we saunter like this? Paul should have enough motivation that he's not distracted by Q's story about TREASURE around the waterfall. Hello? Paul. Babe. No.
Anyway, that happens. I'm really getting mad at this author's use of the word "obviously." As in
"It flew slowly, and circled back several times--obviously waiting to guide them" (129).
If it's OBVIOUS you don't need to SAY ANYTHING. If you don't think we'll get it, you can just at a nice parenthetical "--waiting to guide them." Having both is quadruple overkill. CLEARLY THIS BIRD MEANS TO DO SOME GUIDING.
Also, the Ragwitch tells Julia she's been serving her well. Julia and I are nervous about this ominous statement.
