[At one point, he might not have been as keen to sit around and listen to someone tell stories. He might have gotten bored, wanted to go and do other things. But strangely, he finds there's not even the smallest urge to do anything apart from sitting curled up with her and listening to her read.
Part of it is that she's good at telling stories, the voices and the actions enough to keep his interest even without there being fighting in it. But part of it is also that it's something she enjoys, and he can see that simply by sitting there and watching while she talks. And he finds that he likes this idea of spending time with her doing something that she likes to do. It makes her happy, and that makes him happy.
So if it's something that she wants to do again in the future...well, then, maybe it won't be so hard to convince him to spend more afternoons like this, when they have the chance. It really is a pretty good way to spend the time - especially when he's spending it with her.]
