[There's a brief flicker of surprise when Eddie touches him; Magnus is a hugger, but tends to let Taako initiate any contact between them, and while he's not exactly adverse to physical affection, he tends to keep the gestures small and brief.

But he doesn't pull away, instead relaxing under the touch.]

She was hella dead, for a long time. Not that I wasted a question on that shit, but she felt old.

[Eddie's always been the physical type, and rubbing shoulders and squeezing arms, patting people on the back. It's instinct, and when he feels Taako relax against his hand, he just smiles and keeps rubbing for a few moments before dropping his hand again.]

Huh. So the spell was basically...contacting a ghost? Wait, does that mean it was a really fancy séance?

[spellslots]

[Uh, rude. He sticks his tongue out at Eddie, glad for the distraction so he doesn't have to think about the witch's answer to his second question.]

I could've got a demigod or some other kinda entity. She was just around.

[causational]

[Eddie grins when Taako sticks his tongue out at him, shrugging his shoulders.]

Look, I don't exactly have a lot of experience with this kind of thing, okay?

[At that last bit, he tilts his head.]

Really? This place has demigods?

[spellslots]

Well, I dunno? That's what the spell was reaching out for, it's why it's a liiiitle dangerous.

[Who knows what could be on the other end? If it was too much for his mind, or if it was malicious?]

Maybe next time I'll get someone different, but there's time for that shit later.

[It went well once, no need to push his luck.]

shall we call it here?

[causational]

[Eddie's brows raise at that, and he exhales heavily.]

Wow. Yeah I can see why it's dangerous now.

[For a moment, he contemplates things, and then smiles a bit.]

Well, if you need to do it again, I've got your back. Now, why don't I make you something to drink and you can tell me more about your encounter?

yes ma'am o7

[spellslots]

I could absolutely go for a drink.

[That'll give him a second alone to decompress. There's not a lot of information to go over, but it was troubling enough that he'd like to get his thoughts in order before he explains the rest to Eddie.]
