Honestly, Garrot's just thrilled that they're cheating the system, that they're collaborating, that the Wizard did thi- the Protector?! Fucking what. And then there's Xaljim's follow-up.
"A planet." He goes deadpan at that for a moment, and then just starts shoving food into his mouth like he's never had a meal before in his life. Garrot's clearly stalling so he can try to process all this nonsense. Sxicq can't be a planet, they're right there. And the Protector, you know, protects the world from the Wizard. So after about 90 seconds of voracious consumption, Garrot chugs some water this time and tries to press onwards.
"Why?" He squints a bit. "Why would he want to keep you from talking about stuff?" Garrot thinks back to why he'd keep people from talking about things, and surprise birthday parties came to mind immediately. Duh. "What does he get from keeping secrets?"
