If Howl could understand her, she could raise a storm of protests: for example, no one might question an officer picking up a pair of boots, but what about an officer whose front jacket is squirming around? Try as she might, she's not going to be able to stay entirely still.
. . . besides the fact that the aforementioned boots look more like squashed buckets than footwear at the best of times. Someone might well decide to apprehend Howl for destruction of Strangian army property.
And being carried in this format is not only undignified, but really extremely uncomfortable.
But she can't vocalize any of this, so she does the next-best thing.
The scratches won't go that deep. And the moral of the story: it's dangerous to trade your betrothed's vocal chords for claws.
