"Yeah," says Magnus, nodding seriously. "There's different kinds of traumas. Like seeing a ton of death and gruesome injury, or of being essentially a homeless orphan kid for a couple of years -- actually, that's a double whammy -- or, like, assault." He makes a face at Claudius. "You gotta take care of the injury, though, so infection doesn't set in. If you catch my drift. Like, sometimes we can't process our mom's murder because we have to spend two years in hiding because the cops think we did it, and then we die and have to save the world three times in a row, but it'll catch up with you eventually and you're going to have to deal with it. And, kind of to the point of Lancelot, just because you have a gnarly broken leg doesn't mean you should go around breaking every other leg you see. Or even just, like, giving everyone a solid punch in the face, so they can know a small bit of the pain you're feeling, or because you think it's the best way to reduce your own ache, or whatever."
