“Ribbons?” I repeated. “Yes—it’s common custom around here to stuff your pockets with them when you go a-roving. It’s very easy to get lost in these mountains, even if you know them like the back of your hand, because there are so many doors to Faerie hidden everywhere, particularly in the mists and clouds that linger here and there. You tie ribbons as you go so that you can find your way home again.”
