To Nettle it was a amusing reaction to see the other protected his cloths so much. Listening to the responses he gave small nods.
''I am sure the maidens are making a raw of pushing each other so they could be your muse. Or is it you are having one specific maiden in your eyes?'' Nettle chipped imitating the melodic tone the other had for a moemnt, before laughing it away. Smiling wide still staying away from the goat.

Thinking for a moment about the question of what would he do. He knew he really wanted to just wander around unnoticed, with out much thinking everywhere. But that was more than oblivious out of question. So settling on his second and third option he spoke up. '' How about I help you with work Max so you can get earlier done and enjoy the party too? If it makes you happy you can repay me with a cup of nettle tea afterwards.''

He clapped his hands as if it was already decide, he knew they didnt have that much time before sunset and the evening where they receive the stones to take back.  And once it was time the evening would probably be fully planned out for the chosen children. 
Until then he will be a bit selfish and help others be happy. Being around happy people made his smile shine in more truthfully colors. '' Hope you find the maiden Silver, thought I do question if they will be around the goat today, hm...'' He tapped his chin thinking, the goat stables not too far away anymore.
