[The boy almost pipes up to ask questions, the first being "how can a TROLL be beautiful?", but hates missing out on anything (it's why he hates sleeping!), and Darkleer warned him that he might miss something if he didn't sit still. As impossible as sitting still seemed, he did it anyway.
Even though his energy seems endless when he's actually moving, once he's still he starts to realize just how tired he really is. The story's caught his interest though, and so he forces himself to stay awake until the end. Once he hears that "happily ever after" he curls over on the floor, blessedly asleep.
The mother is asleep, too. Darkleer might have to wait for a delivery on this one.]
