@sponstar ♥ NEW QUEST: i don't wanna hear a peep
big battle at the castle, eh? easy to ignore if one steers clear, seems like, but it got isabeau thinking: what if someone takes the bait? even a small party won't be safe from getting candied! and neither is he, but he can't sit still when he could be putting his muscles to use-- the desire to help shouldn't come as a shock, anyway.
now, loop tagging along? there's a surprise! he didn't even know they could fight (isabeau's still keeping an eye on them, though; just in case)!
"...so, loop-de-loop?" he tests the nickname's mouthfeel, lilt buoyant to match his gait toward the looming castle, "the fit?? i never asked 'cuz i figured going au natural was a star-person thing, but you should've told me! we could've coordinated!"
weird implications, but who's he to question someone's (lack of) fashion choices? not to mention... uh...!? hold that thought.
"HOLY CRAB THAT'S A BIG CHICKEN!!" the quest's flavor text wasn't kidding! he really is shaking in his boots! it's a short-lived panic, though; adrenaline guiding his mace to his front. "and, not-so-big chickens?? huh. they're kinda cute--"
the flock turns in unison. candy eyes bore pure malice. a standstill, then...! they charge.
"!?!? did i say cute? whoops! i meant terrifying!" yet the grin he tosses over his shoulder is big, brave (a morale boost, he hopes), "which'll make roasting these 'mallows a whole lot easier on the conscience! you ready?"
