The other added that last part with a disappointed expression. As if Astrid not hearing about his heroic exploits was such a big travesty. Astrid resisted the urge to chuckle and acted like he was confused by what the other said.

"How can I not hear it? You can always just tell it to me. I would be happy to listen," he said. "There's no need to make it so public when you can just tell it to me directly."
