[ADORABLE. Magolor settles in to tell the story, keeping one hand free to gesture and holding hers in the other.]

So, my beeeest friend, Kirby, is the greatest hero in the universe! I know that's a big claim. I can't just say that without backing it up! So here's a story about just one time he saved the universe. Kirby lives on a peaceful planet called Pop Star, on the edges of a faraway galaxy. Beautiful place, but for as peaceful and out of the way as it is, a lot of things happen there, too. And one day, a great spaceship crash landed on the planet. When Kirby and his friends investigated, they discovered that the ship had been broken to pieces and needed serious repairs. The pilot wasn't injured, but he was sooo upset about what had happened to his ship that he begged Kirby to help him fix it so he could go back home! . . . I've heard this pilot was incredibly charming and cute, and Kirby's just the nicest guy, so of course he said he'd help.

[That last bit—

Magolor wouldn't have let that slip to an adult. Or maybe it's more accurate to say he wouldn't choose this story to tell to someone he believed would catch on to the truth of it in the first place.]
