	Magnus was taken by surprise, both by Yang's actions, and by her incredible strength to basically force him to a kneeling position. A warm hug was what met Magnus on the ground, and his eyes went wide. The warmth of someone...anyone, was the greatest feeling to him. Gently wrapping his arms around Yang for the moment, Magnus closed his eyes. The smell was different, as well as the size, but this sensation was just like when his oldest sister used to comfort him as a child. Yang's words drew his eyes back to her, pupils getting small as he realized how...isolated he'd made Yang feel. 

Gulping as he heard her sniffle, Magnus clenched his fists, feeling terrible for not acknowledging how much this would hurt Yang as well. But, in a way, Magnus was glad that Yang hadn't gone up with him. He wasn't sure that anyone, regardless of skillet, could survive a fall from that height. Rising to his feet the minotaur felt like crying once again, before clapping his hands against his cheeks, putting red marks on them before he nodded. Steam billowed from his nostrils as he crouched low, charging forward towards Yang and grabbing her, tossing her overhead in a deft move, before catching her on his back, arms supporting her legs as he nodded, ears flapping up and down once. [color=FF5353][b]"Mm! I'll make sure of it! Kyle's dream won't die, if there's someone in the guild that knows how to make it reality,"[/b][/color] he said before starting to run forward, pushing himself physically to keep his emotions dampened a bit. This was also for Yang's sake...part of him wanted to return the favor for the hug, and as such, he did something his younger sisters loved doing with him; Minotaur Piggyback riding.

	Letting Yang down by crouching once they reached the guild, Magnus flopped onto the ground panting with his belly up, having run a majority of the way there to keep the ride "fun" in his mind. While certainly a ridiculous idea, it was definitely a testament to Magnus' stamina that he ran such a distance carrying someone for so long at top speed. He took a second to compose himself a bit, before realizing that he was embarrassing himself in front of Bart and...someone who looked familiar. Scrambling over was his course of action, cheeks a bit red with embarrassment.

Magnus was almost startled by Ozzy's overabundant enthusiasm, timidly bowing his head as he spoke. [color=FF5353][b]"O-Oh, uh, Hello! I'm Magnus. Nice to get properly introduced to you, Mr. Skyway."[/b][/color] he said, feeling like whatever an "anthropologist" was, it must have been a big deal. Was it like a president? A president of Anthros?

Bart's question of the job had Magnus at a loss for words, the minotaur sweating a bit before he hung his head and clenched his fists. [color=FF5353][b]"T-That um...Bart...it didn't work. The client he...h-he crashed. Is Talia still in her room?"[/b][/color] he blurted out, feeling that Yang had been through enough today. As such, he unfortunately felt it would be best for him to break the news to her that Kyle was no longer with them.

	A slight tilt is the only answer that Nephele initially gave at Talia's question of whether she'd had any "awkward" moments together with Neil. Rather bluntly, she'd respond further by saying: [color=A9A9A9][b]"He walked in on me bathing once a few days ago. However that was because he heard me trying to kill a cockroach."[/b][/color] she explained, before trying to think of any more. There was that time that she'd awoken and had turned in her sleep enough to completely shed her coverings, leaving her bare in the morning...but it seemed Neil had slept in, facing away from her. As such, nothing else came to mind for her. She was more interested in Talia's life experiences, which brought a smile to her lips. [color=A9A9A9][b]"I see. I hope that your inventions succeed. If it wouldn't be too much trouble, could I see you work sometime?"[/b][/color]

The dragoness' ears perked up as she heard Neil's footsteps, as well as the one she presumed was a doctor. Making room for her, Nephele felt it might be best for her to step out for the moment, but was stopped by Neil suddenly apologizing. She was caught off guard by that, her owl-like ears twitching as she looked at him confused. [color=A9A9A9][b]"I-It is fine, but...I know less about this town than you do, regardless. I've spent my life living in an isolated cave, after all."[/b][/color] 

She was so caught up in Neil's apology, she scarcely had time to examine the mothwoman entering the wagon, which she presumed to be the doctor. Something felt...odd about her. Nothing more than a gut feeling, sure, but Nephele felt something familiar about her...like she'd met something like her before. Was it because she was friends with Maria? No...wait, that would be racist, wouldn't it?

She had no idea why, but Neil apologizing over this had her somewhat flustered...after all, he'd found a doctor. There was no need to apologize. She did however plant a palm on Neil's head and smiled at him. [color=A9A9A9][b]"You did well, Neil, finding a doctor so swiftly. I've never seen a mothwoman like her, though. Also, refrain from saying things like 'This world' in public. It might catch attention."[/b][/color] she said, watching the wagon. 

[color=A9A9A9][b]"...I hope that Talia will be fine."[/b][/color]
