[ Any normal person would probably be offended, but Magnus doesn't really bat an eye at the insult. Looks aren't really something he's super concerned about. He's sure some people would find him, like, ruggedly handsome or whatever, because he is a beefy boy, but he's never really given it too much thought.

He's got bears to train with and people to protect, after all. Plus, he's known Taako long enough to understand there isn't usually ill-intent behind most of his comments. ]

Well, not exactly. [ He shrugs. ] I thought you might know what was going on...or could tell if someone, like, cast a spell on me?

[ He's in no way implying Taako's the one responsible, he just knows way more about magic and stuff than Magnus does. (Though if it turns out that Taako and/or Lup are pranking him...well, he wouldn't be surprised.) ]
