Daine Quote by Tamora Pierce
““Does she ever get sick from eating human food?" Kaddar watched as the dragon managed to dump half the water down her throat and half all over herself. Daine smiled. "She never gets sick from anything, Once she ate a box of myrrh. She was only three months old. I thought every little accident she had would harm her for life." "She didn't get sick?" "She burped smoke for a week, that's all.””
