Malodore stood very still for a moment once released, mentally making sure no ribs were crushed. The metal 'feather' blades on its back were a bit bent out of shape, but should be repairable with a bit of work...
... and the end result seemed to be a fairly tractable swamp beast. Hmm! "Indeed so," Malodore confirmed, though it was kind of at a loss of what to do with the creature now that it apparently had him. Gargantuan couldn't be as foolish as it initially appeared... not once had it really asked for clarification on Malodore's vocabulary.
"You could, perhaps, scare people by coming up behind them and hugging them? Not me," it added, quickly. "It would only work once."

Gargantuan stopped dead at the innocent suggestion, and his thick shoulders slumped for a moment. Why, he'd never even thought of that before... and hugging was something he was very, very good at! Of course, he straightened after a moment, looking rather owlish even as he gently poked at the bottom of Malodore's attire.
"...You... You think G could do that?" He asked hesitantly, but his fins were beginning to ripple with excitement. "Really-really?"
No one had ever thought he could scare people before... Why, the beast was already beginning to look over his shoulders, scouting for potential victims. He wanted to start scaring right now!

"Of course you could! You might even make a frightening vocalization as you do so," Malodore added, helpfully. "Though it would be best if you didn't practice that in the library..."

A frightening... roary sound! Yeah! Gargantuan surged to his feet almost immediately, apparently struck with divine inspiration. "G gonna go practice! G scare people and show Mal later, kay? G promises!"
Perhaps unfortunately, there was another, significantly shorter but no-less-powerful hug before the swamp beast was eagerly rampaging his way out of the library. He felt confident, assured of his victory!
Of course, that was before the smell of dinner hit him halfway down the hall, and scaring was put off in order to investigate. After that, it was shortly forgotten about, but would resurface at a much darker and later date.

"- addio," Malodore managed to call out (at a library-appropriate level) as the beast put it down again and stomped off with every sign of enjoyment.
... what had it done?
Then again, given the potential uses of Gargantuan's adoration, perhaps it didn't really matter what poor soul was about to get the embraced shock of its life. The plague doctor turned its head enough to survey the damage to its own backblades, then sighed. It would be up a while fixing that lot... more practice for later, it supposed.
It was worth it.
((THANKS TSU <333!))
