"Well, the roof might fall in if you put any extra weight on it," Greta drily replies as she eases the book shut. "I imagine there's a fair amount of magic just holding the whole thing together and..." she gestures pointedly towards the cottage, "upright."

She carefully sets the book aside, then picks up the sandwich, eyeing it dubiously. "You don't think anyone's gone in there, do you?" It seems to go without saying that no one would be that foolish, but it's hard to take 'gingerbread cottage' and disentangle it from 'trapped children.' Not that she's heard any cries for help or anything, and she and Aggie haven't been making any effort to keep their voices down. If anyone was in there now, they would have come out.
