Another laugh, though this one is wisely not accompanied by further talk. Taunting the little one into play makes work for the Lord of Shades. Still - they seem to get the concept, even if Grimm has no intention of following up on it.
Ah, the golden question: what is the Troupe? He'll let that one sit. There are more important questions. Like ones about knife juggling, for example.
"Many of the Kin are skilled in juggling staves and batons - aflame, of course - and we have a knife-thrower in our ranks. The Troupe's talents are many, and diverse."
Visualised for them: arcs of bright scarlet fire dancing in a dimmed arena, and briefly, the gleam of daggers.
A pause, here. This next part does carry a hint that he would rather have omitted. Grimm decides it is worth giving them a warning - it's only fair, with the little Shade so interested.
"Alas, we find ourselves soon to commence the closing act of the Ritual. If your curiosity burns for the Grimm Troupe's other performances, it would be wise to prioritise." ...Catch another show first.
