He realized he was being silly. "Oh, nevermind me, I'm just supersticious," he said, "Where does she live?"

Yes, Ichabod was getting jumpy. When was he not? He heard things that he wasn't sure he was hearing. "Virginia," he said quietly, "Why does the wood make noises?"

Ichabod made a shrugging geture similar to "I don't know" and "what's going on?" "I'm from the city," he said, "We don't have a lot of forests where I live."

"In the name of God, I hope you're not serious," he said, believing her quite a bit. He tried to act like he wasn't freaked, and was just slightly succeeding.

The little bit of restraint left in his mind at the moment kept him from screeming like a little girl. A VERY little girl. He did jump back though--or in some direction the was convenient at the moment. "What is it? What is it!" He squeaked. He thought for a moment that perhaps it was one of those imps she mentioned.

He felt his cheeks heat a little with embarrassment. He cleared his throat to gain control of himself. "Yes," he said avoiding looking at the snake, "Shall we press on?"

"I wonder when I'm going to go home," he muttered to himself. He truly missed his home in the heart of New York City. He was quickly growing very tired of supersticion and...forests.

He made a face, but took the snake carefully. "I never really though of snakes as very nice gifts," he commented. "Do I have to go in alone?"

He cleared his throat and looked at the snake for a moment. "Well, then, if I don't come back..." he didn't finish his thought, "Oh, nevermind." He went into the house that was built into the cave. As soon as he entered he wondered if he should've knocked first. "Hello?" he asked the air.

He was startled and stepped back a half-step. "I came to ask you a question," he said, "Oh! I brought you a snake."
