Magnus knows how Taako can get when his sister is unaccounted for, and he's probably gonna need a friend no matter how this shakes out. But the bad news is...]
uh. no. before you say anything, she might not be gone. maybe she's just crashing at lucretia's place.
[Except he hasn't seen Lucretia for a while, either... Fuck.]
[Taako nearly winces at the response, chewing a bit at the inside of his cheek.]
lucretias gone her names off the contact list on these things lups isnt she has to be here no ones seen her
[He tried doing this on text, as if he could hide his inevitable tone, but Magnus probably knows him too well not to read the desperation behind his words.]
unless the fuckin assholes in charge took her theyre talking about investigating or whatever bullshit they better hope she turns up
[Magnus is the only one who gets what he's actually thinking, the honesty of his fears. If they took her, if they killed her-- there'd be nothing left of this cave, and fuck anyone else who had a problem with that. He didn't get her back just to lose her again. He won't.
Maybe this just hits a little too close to last time, except this time there isn't even a note.]
shes probably just off doing something stupid like an idiot
they'd take me or you before they took lup. we've been here longer and i basically told the null we'd kill the gods for them.
[Magnus doesn't know if that's true, but he wants to hope (ha) the gods wouldn't take Lup. Would they do that? For this fucked up investigation? God, fuck them.
Taako wouldn't be the only one rioting if something seriously happened to Lup.]
but yeah she's probably just being a real goofus in the tunnels or something. i've told her not to fucking mess with that place, but you know how well she listens. when i was there i couldn't connect with my phone or anything.
yeah i know shes just fucking stupid this whole thing is stupid
[He knows that Magnus is just as much family as he is to her at this point, but at the same time, he wants to snap back, wants to tell him he doesn't understand or isn't trying hard enough because he's not her brother. But that has nothing to do with it.
This is why he didn't do this in any place where he could use his voice. If he was on a call, all of this would already be out, and he'd already be regretting it. At least now he has an artificial filter.]
just tell me if you see her or something im going to look at the entrance to the caves for scorch marks

let's do a sweep of the cave.
i can start from one side and you can start from the other.
she'll turn up, taako. she has to be somewhere.
[Checking the contact list wasn't even something he thought of back when Taako and Merle both disappeared, so he can't draw from experience here.]
