Garrot is thrilled, like a child playing some sort of trivia or observation game. Any progress is good progress when he's dealing with an immensely powerful planet(?) being with crazy magic who does not (mostly?) speak his language.

"So you don't really trust either of them, and you really don't like the Protector. But you haven't done anything yet." Probably for the best, all things considered. Garrot would really rather not have to deal with a two-against-one situation where the Protector, who protects the planet, is at a disadvantage. Even though he's magically censoring the companions, which is super sketchy. But given the little skeleton, he may not get a ton of unbiased context. So he shifts gears.

"Is your magic the same as the Wizard's and Protector's?" Three magic beings, two of which have knights and can give boosts to said knights. Plus... maybe it's apples and hand grenades and Sxicq doesn't know much about their abilities.
