The look on Galahad's face is... rapturous, maybe? It touches Magnus. He likes that look very much. He touches Galahad's elbow again, and continues on toward the lake. He keeps his eyes peeled for more animals, though -- Galahad looks good when he's looking at animals -- and starts chattering again in the meanwhile.

"Like I said, I got this skill in Alfheim. Where the elves live. Alfheim sucks, actually? It's like the worst McMansion suburbia you can imagine, and they've paved down most of the land so almost none of it is wild anymore, and pretty much every elf I've met besides Hearthstone is kinda a dick. There are a few wild spots, but they only keep them because they've forced all the hulder into servitude and since hulder are nature spirits, they need that to survive. The Alfheim police pulled us over, actually, and it was so dumb? They kept kissing my ass because of my dad, and they were such dicks to Hearthstone just because he can only talk in sign language, and turns out elves? Not great about disability."

It is, Magnus thinks, possibly an indictment against is father, actually. Since Alfheim is under Frey's jurisdiction, and Alfheim sucks ass.
