#of course for that matter i wouls have loved for howl and chrestomanci yo meet and get into a wizardly fashion duel

Been listening to the Howl's Moving Castle audio book again as I do periodically, and this time I've just been struck with how much Old Sophie and Bilbo would vibe with each other. Not just that they're both home bodies living in a vaugely English villagw setting thrust off into adventure mostly against their will and being entangled with wizards, but my goodness the sass. They have exactly the same sort of sass and unwillingness to put up with nonsense and have no fear or telling "grander" people then them off and I just want them to be friends.
