[Rubbing his head, looking at Taako - he didn't recognize any of those voices, but he still understood what they were saying. It sounded like Taako recognized it, though.]
Shit. It's the kid they were looking for last night.
Anyway, yeah, Taako's just sitting down, watching Magnus pick weeds. He's. He's helping? This might actually count, he certainly didn't help Akira clean the kitchen and still got a voucher.]
. . . I'm going to ask. That if our team wins, I get to pick you.
[I'm giving a ton of preamble, you know the deal. Anyway, somehow these two have wandered . . . into Hogwarts, apparently? Taako is just looking around for new hats. That he can't even take out of here with him, but he's still looking.]
This feels like it's really pushing a copyright line . . .
[Taako is not outside on this fine day. Or apparently any day this week? Why is the weather so nasty!!!! Anyway, yes, he's choosing to say curled up in his bunk, and makes a face as Magnus comes in.]
[okay, so, is Magnus gonna think taako is like. sick and dying. if he just wants to go back to the cabin and then sort of crawls over for a hug. It's been a very fucking long day.]
[Bad! Bad, bad, bad. Carrying him back to the Ram cabin? He's kind of barely holding it together, but he wants to get Taako someplace safe, so. Getting him to his bunk and then crashing next to it.
When Taako wakes up, he's just sitting there next to the bunk, hugging his dog and crying to himself. Sad.]
[He's mostly just crashing from the adrenaline rush and also, pain, but eventually he wakes up - grumbling a little when he tries to move his leg and is met with a shock of "ouch" - rolling to look over at Magnus being a Sad Boy.]
Oh come on, dude.
[It probably doesn't help his voice is extremely raspy right now.]
[Creeping back into the woodshop. Taako must be sleeping peacefully, Evan by his side, gently protecting him. Sweet, innocent Taako doesn't know of the dangerous things Magnus has had to do in the depths of the night.]
Maybe . . . . . . . . he met the wrong end of someone’s else’s knife? Oh no! The horror! Imagine how he must have felt, being dragged out of the woodshop to meet his terrible fate— oh, nevermind. He’s walking in the door now.
[Wherever Magnus is, he’s being dragged back to the cabin - they can emotion share if he really fuckin’ wants, he can feel all of Taako’s fierce loyalty, all that poisonous rage at the rest of them that he feels. It isn’t abating quite yet.
He did what he had to do. He isn’t losing anyone else.]
[And Taako can feel in response his anger. At Taako, because he is angry at him. He can feel his grief and guilt - at the prospect of going through the next few weeks, facing so many people who will forgive him for a different crime than the one he committed and who will believe something bad about a person they loved. He's sick about that.
But also, he feels love and acceptance. Whether he approves or not, this is just who Taako is, isn't it? Incredible. A miracle worker. He always finds a way, doesn't he? He can't help but love him for that, and for the amount of love he's been shown back.]
[I’m assuming this is before General Pizza Meeting, he’s dragging Magnus somewhere private, mostly so he can start shedding a few layers before he dies of heatstroke.]
Alright. Don’t think I did too bad in there in front of the crowd. What’d you think?
[Taako. That's. That's nowhere near as bad as he expected. Hugging him back? He's much more gentle, remembering that Taako is injured. So is he, but he can take it for a hug.
He knows Taako isn't done with him yet, but the words just sort of pour out of his mouth.]
Sorry. I'm really sorry. I was afraid there'd be a tie, or Flayn would -

Right now it's lemon blueberry scones? Taako's grumbling a bit as they're a tiny bit too crumbly.]
I don't know, my dude. Does it freak you out a bit that everyone is so goddamn confident about it? Feels like it's, uh, courting disaster.
