[ she doesn't seem to mind, at least. she just sighs, and glances up at him. ]
Yeah. And other people seeing it.
... I think about him almost every day. I don't mind people knowing why I do what I do is because of him. Just would like to have the choice, you know?
[And he definitely does? Because you're getting hit with the sad stuff? I'll give you timestamps if you'd like them, but it's just Magnus' whole chalice decision.
It's this starting at 2:20 to the end, this and also this from 59:53 to 1:04:23.]
[It's really sad! They're sad. He appreciates that response, though. He just takes her hand and sits there with her, holding it, before taking a deep breath.]
[ she takes a deep breath, and gives him a small smile of her own. ]
Yeah, I guess you do. [ she squeezes his hand. ] Gods, I guess we had more in common than I thought. Not exactly the best fucking thing to have in common, but.
Black Shadows. The Babadook. I can make people think they're seeing a huge monster and it scares the shit out of them. Like, stuns them, they're so scared.

... Oh, Magnus. [ she says, quietly, expression breaking just a little. she rests a hand on his arm. ]
no subject
Yeah.
no subject
She's beautiful, though. [ beau says, soft. ] I'm sorry you lost them. I'm sorry you lost - all of that.
You're a stronger person than I am. I think I would've taken that.
no subject
Nah. I would've, too. But the way people would've been hurt by that - that's not the kind of person she was. She'd of hated that.
I get how you felt, you know? About wanting to do better for someone.
no subject
Yeah, I guess you do. [ she squeezes his hand. ] Gods, I guess we had more in common than I thought. Not exactly the best fucking thing to have in common, but.
no subject
Yeah. Feels like everybody who's lost someone important knows. [. . . ] How much you don't wanna go through it again.
no subject
This place is not good for that. [ she says, with a hiccupy sort of laugh. ] I like all of you fuckers too much.

We won't. We're gonna do better this week. We're gonna figure out what all this team bullshit means and how to get around it.

[Nodding, and then - ]
Winter Wizard, Lady Macbeth, I can shake off a curse if I need to, but somebody else will get it.

[He's a little jealous?]
no subject
I guess. It's useful for about a minute, and then it's back to me fucking running. [ she glances at him. ] I haven't really used it.
no subject
[There are too many people he can imagine being hurt like that.]
I was able to test it out safely last week, though don't ask how.
no subject
Sorry. I gotta be vague. I really don't want anybody to end up with a missing arm.
no subject
[He wants! To fight! The Babadook!]
no subject
[ she's grinning though. ] I'm not gonna waste it. I can only use it once a week, and if someone tries to pick me off, I gotta use it then.
no subject
[Let him fight! The Babadook!!!!]
no subject
Yeah, yeah. You'll be first in line, Magnus.
