[ Still tiptoeing around this no man's land - the window for escaping the field without stumbling onto a feelings trap is closing rapidly. It might already be too late, actually. So, for the first time, Magnus' whole thing actually kind of hits a resonant note with Taako. Huh! Empathy is weird, and he's not sure he likes it. Feels sort of like getting sucker punched in the organs.

That said, he isn't exactly sure what Magnus is looking for from him here, if he's even looking for anything from him beyond just wanting to voice the fact. It sure is a thing!]

Oh. Uh. That's a thing.

[There's a lot buried in this minefield though. The fact they're offering to bring back the dead and done-zo is . . . shady, to say the least. The second fact is Magnus tipping his hand that, of course, this was his wish granted by whatever weird powers are in charge here. It isn't a surprise by any stretch of the imagination, it's simply a thing.]

If you want we can go scope that shit out later. I didn't exactly stick around to do inspections.

[ He had hauled ass out of the Dude Freezer pretty quick - it's a surreal place. Being surrounded by the figures of your friends and family is, in a word, creepy. He hadn't worked up the courage yet either to go searching for certain faces. Either outcome (finding and not knowing if they'd ever wake up, or being unable to find at all) seemed worse than the other. The Schrodinger's Frozen Friends and suppressing as hard as he could scenario seemed to be working out okay so far.]
