Why Not- Magoranza Fic

Helping Hand

As Taranza reached the ground, he took in his surroundings, thoughts racing in his head. What was he going to do? Where could he stay?
These thoughts were soon interrupted by a loud gasp and an excited "Hello!"
Taranza looked around, seeing a large blue ship and a man next to it- his friend Magolor.
"Taranza!" Called the Halcandran. "Its so great to see you! I thought you were going to be sulking up there forever." Magolor said in a somewhat concerned yet playful tone. "Say, what brings you down here?"

Taranza looked down shamefully. "I was... kicked out, so to speak."

The halcandran shook his head in disbelief. "Seriously? They cant do that! Sure, you... Did something pretty bad, but you made up for it!" Magolor huffed.
" Whats done is done, Magolor. Im just worried about where to go from now on." He shrugged.
"Not like I have anywhere to go."

The hooded magician tapped his chin in thought, before straightening up. "I know! You can stay on the Lor with me!"

Taranza, suprised at the sudden invitation, titled his head. "Really? Are you sure? I don't want to be a bother-"
Taranza was cut off. "If it bothered me, I wouldn't have asked! Now come get in, your clothes are covered in rain and pollen, and I think you need to change. " The halcandran ushered Taranza inside the large blue vessel dubbed 'The Lor Starcutter'.

Taranza marveled at the interior of the ship- it was very roomy, and the patterns on the walls were amazing.
"Pretty great, isn't she?" It took a moment for Taranza to realize he was reffering to the ship. "Well, Ill give you the grand tour later. Right now, you need a change of clothes and a rest. You got anything else to wear in that suitcase?"
Taranza nodded.
"Good! Now, go in there-" Magolor pointed to a door. "I dont want you changing right in the middle of the living room." He chuckled.
Taranza returned a smile of amusement, and did as Magolor instructed.
He changed from his cloak to a clean white button-up shirt and a pair of jeans.
He stepped out of the room, and Magolor nodded. "Not bad, Tazzy. You ready for a tour?" Taranza nodded in response, rubbing his tired eyes and giving out a yawn. The walk down the Dreamstalk had been long and wore him out quite a bit- but Magolor seemed rather excited to show him around, so he wasnt about to refuse.
The Halcandran peered at the mage, raising a brow. "Actually, I think its better if we had a rest first. Its getting late, anyways." He gestured to a gray couch with a glass table nearby it. "You can sleep there- don't worry, it's comfier than it looks." The magician shrugged, and Taranza sat down on the couch and plopped up a spare pillow, before getting a closed bottle of water thrown onto the couch by Magolor. "I thought you would be thirsty after all the walking. You need anything else?"
Taranza shook his head and grinned. "Thank you for the water, Magolor. Its greatly appreciated. "
Magolor waved his hand in dismissal. "Eh, don't mention it. Just being hospitable and all that." Taranza laughed. "By throwing water at my face?" Taranza teased. "Hey, you caught it. I can take it back, you know." Magolor taunted back.
The Floralian laughed yet again. "I think I'll keep it, thank you. "
Magolor shrugged. "No problem. You need a blanket? Or do you have one yourself?"
Taranza dug out a fluffy dark green blanket from his suitcase and plopped it down onto the couch. "Again, I'm fine, thank you. I think I will go change into my pajamas now, if we're all going to bed..."
The magician nodded. "Thats the plan, yea- make sure you brush your teeth while you're at it, eh? And turn the lights off once you're done and ready to sleep."
Taranza giggled- "Okay, Mom." He said sarcastically. This elicited a large bout of laughter fron the Halcandran. "Yeah, yeah. Goodnight, Taz."
"Goodnight, Magolor!" Taranza called from below as the magician tread up the stairs to his own room.
As Taranza finished brushing his teeth, he turned off the lights and lay down onto the gray couch, head sat on a pillow as he looked at the ceiling.
It was covered in glow-in-the-dark star magnets- Taranza smiled, as he wondered how long it took for Magolor to stick them up there- he began to count them, as he drifted off...

That night, he dreamt of a field of flowers with orange and yellow butterflies flying around it.
