he understood why she had been left for the dragon and so he put her back :

Nice, but what exactly is that dragon doing? Yeeeuck! Is it perhaps
something it ate last night? Too much fried knight can easily upset
the stomach, you know. :)
Ok, ok, I suppose you want me to draw a better version of dragonfire?
This one actually came out pretty good, considering that it's the
first picture I've ever made that even remotely resembles a dragon.
