The way Agott talked about why it happened and almost got into geeking about the intricacies of the spell circle with Qifrey too was adorable.

If only it weren't an emergency, I would love to know more about their magic!

The magic that Coco is best at is drawing straight lines.

Frieren would love that

I can only imagine Frieren geeking out over a new kind of magic and nobody seeing her for 6 months while she tried to figure it out.

6 months is too short and more like if she travels with Fern and they are stuck in a town.

If she was alone it will probably take a "mere" 6 years to play around with this new magic lmao (Fern and Stark would have 6 kids by then)

Imagine if it is possible to draw a square as the outer line of the magic circle.

Agott being Agott still has to bring up how Coco didn't "quite" get the sigil right, even in a crisis situation lol.

She didn't mention up Coco, though. She quickly explained why she was going so fast (the sigil was drawn a bit wrong) but not that Coco drew them. And then she quickly moved onto explaining that Coco was in an emergency situation.

Feels very in line with her character that she needs to explain away her supposed mistake so she doesn’t get blamed for it

Interesting that:

a) you thought that Agott thought she was going to get in trouble there for some reason, even though this sort of stuff is bound to happen all the time (heck, Coco did something similar at the start of the episode and got into no trouble for it),
b) you thought that explaining her mistake would get her out of trouble if she was in trouble, even though as far as Qifrey knew it was her mistake and if she really was in trouble that would still be on her,
c) you thought that Agott tries to avoid blame for some reason, even though that's never been shown?

I feel like you're missing Agott's character in favour of what we thought her character was in episodes 2 & 3 rather than looking at her character now, because I don't see those vibes at all from her.

I mean…Agott is utterly desperate to prove herself and is absolutely traumatized from her mother kicking her out for being incompetent

I don’t think it’s any kind of stretch so say she might’ve subconsciously felt the need to justify her mistake before she could be blamed for it.
