Her kindness drew him like a moth to flame, and he took small, tentative steps toward her as she spoke of a gift - one he'd given to her! Oh, how he'd like to truly do so - he was a great fan of gifts - both in giving and receiving. It was good that she was pleased with him, but he wished to give her a reason to truly be thankful!

Yet her next words made him pause, and puff out his chest in amiable pride. "I am Dagfinn Ansbjørn III," he declared - "Singer, dancer, and teller of tales - at your service."

And he would serve her any way she wished - listening to her speak was more service to him than to her, but if it pleased her, he would listen anyway. "Yes, yes tell me!" he insisted, watching her with rapt attention.
