Yeah. He's a pretty important friend to me, for sure.
[Tonbo, that's cute. Smiling a little more at that.]
It drives me crazy, thinking I'm not the one who can be there looking out for him, but I'm still glad if it wasn't me, it's the second strongest guy in camp.
[Nodding, grinning. Anyway, time to show how paranoid Magnus is despite only having been maf for a little while - ]
So! I've got brass knuckles, a crossbow, and my axe. I gave the crossbow to Flayn for protection, but the rest of that, you can take your pick of. I know you've got your cool soul spear or whatever that deal is, but if you need backup, I'll leave it all sitting out next to me when I fall asleep.
Beyond that, I got my Tamagotchi that blocks an attack. I don't know if Taako can use that, but consider it.
Otherwise, just. Don't wander off from him. If somebody tries to attack him, you should probably dive in the way physically and use your body to intercept the blow, since you obviously have way more HP than he does. And worst comes to worst. . .
[He considers.]
Well, if something goes really wrong out there, then frame me, okay? You can be obvious about it - stop around with my boots or something, cut up the body with my axe, I don't care. I can probably argue I was framed, and no one will think Taako would frame me, but he still wouldn't like this plan so do it whether he agrees or not.

He is an important friend not only to me and the others aboard the ship but to you as well. I could not leave him to himself.

[Just gentle teasing, though.]

Of course. I would trust him with no other.
[ it's just the two of them at the top clearly and tonbo doesn't care which one is #1 ]
I'm sure he thinks differently but I know he must be relieved to have both of us available at his aide.
no subject
[Laughing a little, at the idea of how relieved Taako probably was he was paired with Tonbo.]
no subject
That's certainly true.
no subject
[He's been worrying since he found out Taako was going this week.]
I'm gonna have to go to sleep knowing I won't be there to protect him. So. I just wanna figure out how best I can help you do it.
no subject
I certainly would not mind the input.

Taako taught me how to use a gun.
