ALSO! Love how much Arren is looking up to Ged, so much that the boy is baffled at how such a successful mage, who speaks the language of dragons and has achieved feats no other mage has come close to achieving, would wonder who he is. what a tall pedestal (though valid, worth pointing out how tall nonetheless).
