Ohhh, I haven't tried going in there yet! It seemed like it might be asking for trouble without a buddy with me. You braved them for me~!

I did! I don't care about trouble~!

[He says this as if it is a selling point, which is dubious in a general sense. It's unclear whether he himself is extrapolating it out.]

Though it WAS really scary...

Then call me next time! I don't worry that much about trouble either, but I'd rather phone a friend first. What was it like? Tell me everything!

[It's okay Taranza, Magolor has a broken sense of fear,]

It's super dark in there, and I kept hearing things like someone else was in there, but I never saw them. I looked! But it was just too dark to see everywhere at once even if you have a light.

And it kinda spit me back out onto the beach at some point. I had to go back in a few times.

[He just kinda figured it was the end of that level though. That part is not so scary.]

[Yeah that's normal, that's just how levels work. Magolor nods.]

That's not unexpected. Any of that, really! That sounds like exactly the kind of creepy thing that happens here. Well, now I'm curious and protective both! Let's go explore it sometime!

Eh, protective? Do you feel protective of me...?

[The fact that he believes it could possibly be true, enough to ask for confirmation, is a sign of the depth of his trust already!]

But, mm! We should definitely explore it together.

I do! Of course I do. I'm the type who takes good care of everything I love! That includes people, too.

Ehehe. I should be the one protecting you! I'm protective of you too! But, you know... it's nice to think about...

[Protect me from danger! Be cool and strong! Indulge the fantasy!!]

Noooo...! I should definitely take care of youuuuu...!

[THIS IS CUTE . . . is a fantasy being revealed?! Or born?! Magolor giggles, shoving himself up against Taranza.]

Huhuhu. We can take turns, you know? I think that's the ideal! Everyone should get a chance to be protected, and everyone should get a chance to be the protector! I'm a true relationship egalitarian!

Waaahhh... That's a really next-level idea...!!

[In a way that he is into, of course.]

Okay! I'll take advantage of your generous offer!

Hehehe, of course it is! We're both relationship geniuses.

[WITH CONFIDENCE.]

Besides, I have to admit I'd reeeeeaally like to be protected by you too!

...Of course I want to protect you... But in order to do that you have to be in danger first, and the idea of anyone putting you in danger is horrible!

I understand . . . of course I don't love being in danger myself! But I would love being protected by you. And I'd hate for you to be in danger, but I'd also love swooping in dramatically to save you!

Knowing this place, maybe there will be danger that turns out to only be an illusion.

I was thinking we could just roleplay, but that seems very likely too!

Oh, what's roleplay?

[He can kind of intuit it, but kind of not. It's not something he's ever done consciously enough to know a term for it.]

It's just playing out a scripted scene for kicks! I wouldn't mind trying something like that someday. ♥

So we arrange the danger on purpose...?

[This is a bit of a misunderstanding, but he is intrigued by it nevertheless.]

Or we just pretend there's danger! It doesn't need to be real. Though it could be, if we found a good option there.

[Misunderstanding it may be, but lbr it's not like Magolor wouldn't go the extra mile to make some real danger happen for these purposes.]
