For a big, powerful dragon, this one is agreeable. Howl isn't just grateful to have the Monster taking care of this task for him, but somewhat surprised that he capitulated to Howl's request - more of a demand, really, even he has enough self-awareness at the moment to admit that - so immediately. And is continuing to do so with no complaints.

"What's your name?" Howl asks slowly, his voice tinged with curiosity. "I've never seen you before. I thought I knew all the dragons within our special populace."
