OH! Well, that settled it! Ivy glomped his middle, "I was looking around everywhere and couldn't find anyone I recognized! But wait!" She shook her head, "No! Now I'm even more confused!"
She laughed brightly, nevertheless. She put a finger to her mouth in thought. Maybe his magic Talent was Grandpa Bink's? Mysterious and invisible and -- no wait, Talents didn't work right here!
Ivy laughed again, "How do you do it? It's like everyone--" she failed to find a graceful to put it. How did you nicely call someone completely unremarkable so as to be almost boring to their face?!
Another head shake instead and she remembered her princess lessons and smoothed her dress, and curtsied. "I'm Princess Ivy, daughter of King Dor, and Queen Irene." She puffed her sad lack of an interesting chest up all the same, quite proudly, "Have no fear! I'll protect you while you're here!" She was told that rhyming like the ogres would help with some of the magic. What fun!! Although she hoped it didn't give her subject the impression she was just an idiot like the ogres. No no, for all magic seemed to slide around him somehow, surely she could still enhance him to be bright enough to understand this simple reality!
She snapped her fingers. Of course! Esk and Chex and Volney and the others said that the containment spell for the Wiggles was the dream world version of void! Maybe his talent was like void!
No. No no no. That was impossible. Also terrifying. Worse than the brain coral! It wouldn't magic slide around them! She scrunched her face up in slight worry. Again, she struggled to find a nice way to ask about his magic talent. Especially if he was embarrassed about it, and given that she was considered the strongest Sorceress in Xanth... Old habits died hard, and Ivy forgot about the other types of magic here in favor of trying to use her enhancement again. -- Though luckily this would coincide with Charming; if only she knew it was both inapplicable and unnecessary on Grey. "I'm sure you have a very nice talent! Can I help you enhance things in anyway?" Have a giant pair of emerald woobie green eyes wibbling at you psuedo-innocently, Grey.
