[Yes, a medal for her.] I'm not as good at spinning tales as others are, but from what I know, a woman from my town, Market Chipping, bought a hat I'd spoken to while I was making it. You have to know that in my world - and Howl's - there are people with the ability to spin magic into things, people, with just words. Some use spells, of course, but some just command it and it happens.

[She does look a bit sheepish, at least.] Unbeknownst to me when I was trimming the hats, I have that sort of ability.
