[ He trails off idly as he works, since that's true enough. This fantastical world is more like her world, and he only realizes that once she's phrased it that way. So instead, he continues smoothly onto the more fanciful topic here. At least his work is gentle, almost ghostlike in how he unwraps those bandages to avoid causing her any pain at all. He's the perfect butler and caretaker, through and through, which is also why his story is probably immediately meant to catch her attention. ]
I do know of a few tales, yes. I cannot promise that they would be applicable here, mind you, but I have heard some tales in my time. [ ...to put it lightly ] The tale of Gwynn ap Nudd is an interesting one. He was said to be a king of the Tylwyth Teg, the supernatural creatures of the Welsh. There are quite a few tales about him, from joining King Arthur to participating in the infamous Wild Hunts.
Whether he is truly a goblin or not, ah, well... That is a bit upfor debate. But he is certainly one of the fair folk, and quite the warrior, at that. Goblins have gotten a reputation of being greedy, malicious creatures, but in very early tales, that is not quite the case.
