On the one hand, Magnus is on cloud nine. Even though Alex isn't here anymore, she was here, and he got to see her. He got to hug her, and hold her hand, and kiss her, and joke around with her, and have all the important and difficult conversations he's been wanting to have with her for months. He's gotten the impression, by now, that a lot of people showed up for just the one day, and so the fact that she's gone doesn't burn the way it might otherwise. She was here once; maybe she can be here again. In the meantime, now all his friends back home will know he's okay. And as long as Surt doesn't figure out whatever magic brought her here, things might be... okay for a while?
His only regret is that, since he assumed she was here for good, he didn't monopolize all her time. (He wouldn't have; he never wants to tie her down. She can tie him down! He doesn't mind! But she should be free, always. But it does feel like every exchange he had with someone else that entire day was a waste of time. Except saving Hanguang-jun and his husband. That definitely wasn't a waste. But...)
But he's still feeling all mixed up about it. He's feeling lonely now, in a way he's managed to stave off most of the time he's been living in the woods. He and Shen Yuan and Galahad have been tossing around the idea of a game night for a while now. Maybe Galahad and Shen Yuan had visitors, too? Maybe they're also feeling a little lonely? Maybe they might be willing to have some quality bro time right about now?
It's midafternoon. A little early, maybe, but he's definitely going to come back outside to sleep. He empties his backpack into his camp cooler so that he can fill it with snacks in the kitchen, and heads toward the Mansion. He'll find Galahad first -- if Shen Yuan is in his room, that's a little too close to Magnus's empty room for comfort right now, and he'll want a friend with him before he goes down that hallway.
