"Merely? You like one, i’m not judging, i just think it’s awesome."

He said, wrapping himself in that blanket, appreciating her kindness,

"I’m a dwarf, i oftenly got mistaken as a child before, so, i play along and act as it, it’s really fun and bring me back to my own childhood, being mischevious, daring, adventurous.."

"As someone who is often branded as 'childish', I like to believe it is simply being 'whimsical'." She giggles. "Though try not to get into too much trouble however. We want you to have many more happy days." She uses her telescope pointed at the sky to bring another of her creations down to speak to someone. "Were you needing any other forms of nourishment while I am here? Like dinner perhaps?"

"I just ate a carrot, but i haven’t eaten properly, i’m starving.."

He sighed deeply, and then, he smiled big.

"I know what you are, you are an angel, they don’t always have wings, but they are so kind to everyone, it must be that!"

The Keeper is deeply flattered. She smiles, with her fingers over her lips as a blush creeps onto her face. "You are far too kind, Peewit. Far too kind." She grabs some dinner for him, as well as for her other guests such as Samson and her own children.

"I’m returning the kindness, a legend such as myself does not lie."

He realized that he sounded pretentious here, and he cleared his throat.

"Have i told you that i am an entertainer? What does your friends love to see? Or even, hearing?"

"Well. I have found that my children and I quite enjoy music. And many of my guests have as well. Personally I have always been drawn to string instruments. And vocals as well."

"String instruments? Do you have one with you? I forgot to bring mine with me.."

He blinked and he smiled to Samson and waved at her children, he was making silly faces and went back at being 'serious'.

The Keeper’s very much adult children simply wave back with giggling smiles. They find him endearing despite the silliness it seems.

“I do. Let me get it for you.” The Keeper disappears behind one of the curtains which hides a closet. And she comes back with a gorgeous white decorated violin. “This is one of my most prized possessions. Do be careful with it.”

He took the violin very carefully in his hands and examined it.

"Papa used to have a violin too, he played so many songs with it, and they all told stories, one of them was.. The celestial rabbit being lost among humans. It was a shiny one, a soft one too.. People acted as if the rabbit was precious itself, it never get eaten but traded.."

He kept examining it.

"And.. The rabbit found a place to stay, a dwarf hide it and taught the fluffy being to turn into an human, and speak as such.. I think it got a princess, or another royal in that story.."

The Keeper sits down quietly, crossing one leg over the other under her gown and clasping her hands over her knee. "If you are able to play, I would love to hear it."

He nodded a little and started to play.

The scenes started to play in his mind, the arrival of the celestial rabbit on Earth, the forest and the party in the forest, but a hunter interrupted everything and the rabbit run away, later on.. He felt alone and hungry, he had no clue how to get food, until he met someone, a dwarf..

He stopped.

"I forgot the other part of the story, it been ages i heard it."

The Keeper claps regardless and so do her creations. "That was beautiful, Peewit. You are quite talented indeed!"

He smiled big at her compliment and bowed a little.

"Thank you, you got a beautiful violin, i’m sure it’s a rare model, no?"

"It is rare. I am surprised I found it in all honesty. But as soon as I saw it? It was truly love at first sight."

"Love? What’s that?"

He turned at her, being really curious about it,
Is it the same as being attached to something?

Maybe it is, maybe it’s not.

"Love is many things. It is a feeling of when you adore something. That you become attached to that thing and it fills your heart with warmth. But it is actually an action. It is a choice that happens everyday. Love is sacrificial, does not brag or boast, it endures all trials, and is unending."

"Unending? Ah! Like my job? It’s full of joy, i love it, better than pretending to be a goblin."

He snickered here, remembering how he used to trick people with that.

"It fill the heart with warmth? Like a good meal or something else?"

“Both of those can be true but not quite. Love is much more internal. Spiritual even. You feel it deep inside your soul.”

"Huh, i think i will not understand it, i am not that, huuuh.. What does 'spiritual' means? It’s not a kind of spell?"

That sounded like a ghost stuff to him for some reasons.

The Keeper just giggles charitably. “I am afraid that is up to you to discover, Peewit. But I am sure you will find out very soon.”
