Wow it still isn't over... So I returned the two to the tank, and Olf's friend actually ran to Tauno.
When that happened, Tauno started running to Olf, and he tried to go really fast and on top of the other snails, but he couldn't get anywhere because the other snails just rolled upside down under his foot. I couldn't watch it so I put him next to Olf as he was obviously going there. Tauno was first over-startled by my touching him but when he calmed down enough to push his eyes out again, he patted another snail who was pooping nearby, and then turned to Olf, looked all over her foot, patted the spot where she'd pulled her eyes in, and then reached over and gave her a huge long kiss right on her mouth, caressing her cheeks with his tentacles at the same time. I am so close to crying.
I chose a bit of a silly spot for Olf as there's another snail digging a tunnel under her, most likely for egg laying. The ground moves up and down. A tiny little hatchling is climbing up Olf, small enough to fit in her breathing hole - I hope Tauno watches that the baby doesn't go in there.
Wow, I'm going to want to punch the next person who says they're "just snails".
