If Alex Came Back We'd DEFINITELY Be The Local Power Couple [open post]

Magnus has come to realize that nobody else in this entire place is presently in a relationship that has lasted nearly as long as his and Alex's. Shen Yuan's concept of "communication" "with" "Luo Binghe" is continuing to horrify him every time he thinks about it. What if there are other people who could use the advice of a sixteen-year-old twenty-five-year-old virgin who has been in a committed relationship for nearly seven years with someone to who he is probably widely known to have never verbally declared the undying depths of his love? (Gods, he hopes Alex figures out a way to do another little visit for their rapidly-approaching anniversary)

To that end, he posts an announcement sign over the welcome table, in the café, and on the door to the kitchen. It reads:
NEED RELATIONSHIP ADVICE OR FEEDBACK? Local Long-Term Relationship Expert Magnus Chase Offers His Aid.

He even lists office hours — an inoffensive parlor (meaning he can tolerate hanging out in it, and the door can close if people want privacy for their conversations) every other day for an hour, immediately following his Drosera hand-off to Galahad.

"Before I had my operation," Tally says carefully. She also has some context for how Rusties respond to the way she talks now, though it's still really hard not to put down her past self. "Generally people I met didn't think I looked good, before, and he did. He also thought I was beautiful... for the way I thought, and acted." But he was wrong about that, she knows.

As long as Magnus is safe and unharmed, it makes little difference where he sleeps. He nods again and gives Magnus a relatively gentle little squeeze with the arm still around him. "If there is anything you need, I'm here." The unspoken implication of his words, naturally, is that he will answer to Magnus, unlike Magnus' actual father. No prayer necessary.

Laertes cannot remember whether Magnus ever told him that Alex was his visitor--but the more he thinks about it, the less sure he is that Magnus was lucky. One thing had to be said for Reynaldo: Laertes was glad to see the back of him. "Thou hadst an eventful day," he says. "And so did he. Sagramore meant to kill him, I think. My thanks for defending me in thine own way."

"I've wanted this my whole life," he agrees, with a laugh, which hopefully downplays the fact that it's pretty much true. "How's the princess?"

"Is this another kind of modern greeting?" He shifts Szarka in his arms so he can hold up his own hand.

"I saw him, and I fled into the woods. I was too far gone for thought; I was a hare pursued by a hound. I ... remember little of what happened, before he found me," says Laertes. "Only being cold, and afraid, and unable to breathe past the top of my chest."

Laertes exhales, long and slow. "It was well enough, in the end. I bid him take back to my father that I had no wish to return, for I'd married a Hungarian prince and had no desire to repent it. He seemed pleased enough to carry that message."

"Major," Laertes agrees. "Hast thou any further advice for how I might best savor my good fortune?"

"You can wear my colors. I'll choose some colors, just so you can wear them -- Galahad and I have already have half a coat of arms planned." His fingers flicker through the combined signs of their names, flower and dragon. Smiling, he says, "The whole puzzle of in-laws aside, I do have happy news in that regard."

A smile curls Lan Wangji's mouth, just for the space of a single breath. He lets silence stretch out for several more breaths, content with Magnus' head nested on his shoulder and the knowledge that Magnus trusts him. Then, in time, he says, "I have promised to teach you several things, not only handstands. Do you still want to learn?"

"Where would you like to begin?"
