Regales again and withdraws (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retreats

I believe this is a double definition.

'regales again' is the first definition.
('treats' can be a synonym for 'regales' so perhaps 'retreats' is OK for 'regales again')

'withdraws' is the second definition.
(I know this)

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for retreats that I've seen before include "Backs away" , "Refuges" , "tactical withdrawals" , "Places that afford peace and quiet" , "Recedes" .)
