Ken has set up a table on the lawn outside. On it is an assortment of fluffy toys - teddy bears and bunnies - and some colourful balloons plus a small pile of colouring books, complete with crayons and pencils.

A handwritten sign nearby says: HELP YOURSELF!

Ken himself is beaming at any passers-by in an encouraging manner.

Tas swipes a bunny as he walks by, but it won't quite fit into one of his pouches. He stops near the table to try to stuff it in. "Could you help me?" He motions towards the bunny whose head is sticking out of the pouch.

"Maybe you need a bigger bag," he suggests. "Or you could just carry it. Unless you are trying to hide it for some reason?"

[immune_to_fear]

"I'm not trying to hide it," he answers defensively. "It just fell off the table into my pouch, and I was trying to get it out to return it. I can keep it if you want, though."

[ken_murata]

He blinks then laughs at that. "Of course you can keep it! I'm giving them away!"

[immune_to_fear]

Tas is startled by this answer. Most people demand whatever it is that he has taken back immediately. "Thank you! What's your name?"

[ken_murata]

"I'm Murata Ken!" He says brightly. "And you are..?"

[immune_to_fear]

"My name's Tasslehoff Burrfoot." A crayon has mysteriously disappeared from the table. Tas reaches into a pouch and pulls it out. "Oh! What's this?"

[ken_murata]

He laughs again. "A crayon!"

[immune_to_fear]

"What's that?" Tas turns it over in his hand, examining it.

[ken_murata]

"You can draw and colour with it," he replies, holding out one of the colouring books as example.

[immune_to_fear]

He peers at the coloring book, and then reaches out and make a mark in it with the crayon. "Oooh!" He smiles and makes a few more marks.

[ken_murata]

He beams. "You can use more colours, if you like!"

[immune_to_fear]

"Thanks!" He takes the book and sits down on a couch to continue coloring. "Even Uncle Trapspringer has never seen one of these!"

[ken_murata]

He smiles happily as Tas goes to enjoy his book.
