Heart to heart

"It's very nice to meet you," Osprey finished the formal greeting part of their conversation and fell silent, looking for more words to say. Truth to be told - she was not good at being formal and this was the only field, where here creativity hit a concrete wall and couldn't fill in the blank spots, which, of course, was annoying.

"So... err... how did you manage to charm my loud-mouthed and adventurous brother into the serene life of matrimony?" she understood that she sounded totally silly. "I am fond of good stories - so surprise me!" she added in a lighter tone with a glint of mischief in her eyes. This was an invitation to be creative and to embroider the true story with as much impossible details as possible (how odd it sounded).

"My guess is that it involved a lot of heroic deeds, house chores, impressing the fair lady and some witchcraft in-between. There is no good story without a bit of magic. Am I on the right track?"
