* ADateWithRosiePalms: At one point in ''Heart of Fire'', Kathryn tries masturbating out of sexual frustration; she's nineteen years old, never been so much as kissed, and there aren't any blokes around (and Smaug is hardly going to let any man near her). She tries fantasizing about a random guy, but Smaug in human form (whom she had previously dreamt of) keeps intruding in her thoughts. She decides to just go with it.
