Have you ever aspirated syrup? Because Garrot just fucking chokes on the syrup for a second and follows it up with some water. What an absolute disaster. He knew Sxicq didn't have a cell phone, but knowing the context of that other-language interaction is just. Really embarrassing?

"So you two are..." He clears his throat. Damned syrup! "You're friends?" The bugbear's eyes dart between the two magical beings for a moment. "Sxicq, are you friends with all the Knights' companions?"

Honestly, if Sxicq can be so casually friends with Xaljim, they can be friends with anyone. That monkey is so difficult!
