Tad and Hess

The Heartsinger is Tad and Dotty’s story, so you will get to know Tad and by extension Hess much better. However in book 2 you see their connection with their father, you see their connection with each other, with Gordon and you see how easily they adjust their thinking abut the dragons. They had met Grabon before the start of book 1 but they had met him playing Heron’s pet, a less intelligent beast than he is. Tad and Hess can accept that they were tricked, understand immediately why they had concealed his intelligence and make the mental adjustment. By the time they return to Grabon’s territory in book 2 they are already inclined to stay. Can you pinpoint the moment when they make the decision?
