[Dense is certainly a word that describes Concord. He's stubborn, some might call mulish, a funny thing to call something so pure as a unicorn. He often misses the obvious or trods right over more common sense because of his own views. This doesn't mean he isn't curious, or able to reach understanding, it simply doesn't come so easily.
He does consider what Ali is saying, he does try to understand, instead of just trample ahead]
No. No, I think I am beginning to grasp. It is not about the item given. It is about the gesture of giving the correct gift. A display of thoughtfulness and not of value. Yes?
[his nose twitches, considering if he knew correctly that dragons prefer wine over mead. Did he get that mixed up?
Wait, it shouldn't matter. It's no gift to wo Ali with, Concord did not bring it to earn any favor. It was merely a gesture of good faith, he doesn't give anything with an expectation of gratitude.]
