Plus, Saffron links up with Madame Zheng, and we meet 'a wiggy piggy.'
You know what sucks? Coming home from school to find your folks are gone and your back door has been smashed to bits. This is the sight that greets Kevin Haddock’s sister Saffron as we begin the third episode of. While our hero knows what became of his folks , his sib only knows that she put herself to bed last night, took herself to school this morning, and now nobody’s home.
It’s worth noting that Saffron doesn’t enter the time-jumping realm with any bandits to lead her through it, so she’s very much on her own. And remember that translation cap? With no bandits, she gets no cap, and it turns out it’s a lot harder to navigate through time without sharing a common language with anyone. Saffron struggles with this but still ends up a good enough non-verbal communicator to ask Madame Zheng paddles in.
Into the medieval village they go, Kevin dragging the skull along with him, which gets the group mistaken for dragon-slayer. It’s a title Kevin attempts to refute, telling the villagers that the skull had belonged to a triceratops, not a dragon. Penelope, though, is quick to take credit for the assumed slaying, adding that Kevin had only “carried the head,” a claim that haunts him as it’s repeated all episode with varying levels of contempt/praise.
Peace seems to settle over the land. The sheriff is busy playing mobile games and Kevin is patiently explaining to the villagers, with wood-etched visuals, that dragons aren’t real when the other bandits finally return, weeks later, bringing dino eggs to help with the famine.Though the trip gave the trio more map experience, Kevin is pissed, lamenting, “We thought you weren’t coming back. They’re making me get married tomorrow.
• It’s interesting to consider the ways in which the intersections of Saffron’s identities influence the ways she’s treated by people across time relative to her brother. Of course, he also has the benefit of the Time Bandits’ presence helping him out, which provides him with at least a safety-in-numbers situation. There are some pretty scary, misogynistic time periods this girl could wander into.
