"Aw, shucks," says Magnus, who is both genuinely touched but also a little disappointed that Hanguang-jun doesn't actually want his advice. "I do have advice about more things, though! I was telling Tress this the other day, but I recently realized that I went from being in the newest and shortest relationship of all my friends -- like, Halfborn and Mallory have been on-and-off again for over fifty years, and they're just getting started, too -- to being one of the longest-term ones here. I think, at least? Me and Alex are going to hit seven years during Eid, and I'm pretty sure that's next month. If Galahad's calculations are right."
