"We came in the window," Thumbelina answered. She took the lack of a negative reaction to their presence a sign that they'd at least be able to have a chat. She sat down on the bed, stretching out her legs. "We've been looking half the day for a place to spend the night... Have you seen out there? Those will-o-wisps are so annoying! And we flew over a village that was completely overrun with gnomes! We certainly weren't going to stay there." She smoothed her skirt, shaking her head at even the thought. "How did you get up here, anyway?" she continued curiously. "I didn't see any door at all on the outside of your tower. Only this window up here. It must be terribly difficult... unless you have a secret entrance?" she asked with sudden excitement. "This would be the perfect place for a secret entrance! Perhaps an underground tunnel? I've spent the winter in an underground tunnel before, they're terribly cozy. You do end up missing the sky if you're in one too long, though."
