How did she outrun a bunch of adult knights with those tiny legs? And why is she even in the forest, they couldn't wait until they got back to ask the dragon more questions?
It's fine. It's absolutely 500% fine and please by all means absolutely feel totally free to never ever ever bring it back ever.
@Riger: They don't need to be animals. Her special power is that she's beloved by all nonhuman creatures, after all. In fact that was the main point of her being reincarnated there: humans have been oppressing other species, and the god wants her to do something about it.
