Sorry, Popp, he is going to keep giving you praise when he thinks you've earned it. He is also not going to hold back on his intensity for everything - even now, with what is just an innocent question. He could simply say that no, he was not afraid.
But this is not what he does.
"I do not fear most creatures, be they owlbear or otherwise. Researchers or specialists of my people were known to create more fearsome beasts with far more potent abilities. Should an owlbear accost me, I will deconstruct it to its base aetherical energies and repurpose them for other means." It will be tiring, though. Far less effortless in this place than in his home. "Here, it will be more taxing than otherwise, but I know myself capable."
He holds out the slime mold. "Observe."
His hands and the slime shimmer with light, before a gentle glow overtakes the entirety of the mound of slime. In a few moments, it dissipates into formless magical energy, scattering into sparks that flicker and fade.
