regaling
Telling captivating stories
Regaling is entertaining or delighting someone, typically with stories, food, or drink.
The word often appears with "with": She regaled us with tales of her travels, He regaled his guests with fine wine and elaborate dishes.
There's a sense of lavish generosity—you don't regale someone with something ordinary.
