So, uhhh, hey, fuck this place!

[Despite his words, Taako actually sounds more upbeat and alive than he has in a while. He sounds angry, but... alive and functional.]

Like, for real, seriously, though, fuck this place. I've got a world to save, and a sister to remember, and all that, and it's like, nope, time to go back to work at your other job, the one you didn't even sign up for!

[Taako's back, yall. Back physically and mentally!]

Doesn't that sound awesome? And, I could even have like... A fancy cape, to match it! Then everyone would have to know how cool I am.

[tacosgay]

Hell yeah. You'd officially be the second-freshest magic user here.

The first being me, of course.

[wild_magic]

What would I have to do for it to be a tie?

[tacosgay]

Hmmmm... unfortunately, I think the only person who could tie with me is Lup, and that's just because we're twins, you see. But if it's any consolation, you could be a very close second.

[wild_magic]

Well, I'll just have to do better, so I'm even cooler than both of you.

[tacosgay]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm... yeah, good luck with that, kid.

[wild_magic]

Well, I'm only 12... Well, 13, now, so I think by the time I'm your age I can be cooler.

[tacosgay]

Uhhh... sorry, what are you, again? I mean... are you a human, or...?

[Because if so, he's not going to make it to Taako's age...]

[wild_magic]

No, we're half-elves.

[So in his mind that means he'll live forever.]

[tacosgay]

Oh-ho! I mean, uh, I still don't know if you'll make it as far as I have, but, you know, that's pretty cool. Don't get me wrong, I sure hope you do, but y'know, half-elves... that's dicey on the whole longevity thing.

[wild_magic]

Well I think I'll do it, so I can be the most powerful sorcerer ever. That'd be hard if we don't live as long as an elf...

[tacosgay]

Okay, sure. As long as I can still be the most powerful wizard and all that, you know.

[SHRUG. Sorcerers are their own deal, he's fine with somebody else taking that particular title.]

[wild_magic]

Yeah, okay! I wouldn't want to be a wizard, anyway. But we could still have a magic contest to see who's better.
