Phew. Okay. Magnus has been fairly self-sufficient and able to navigate his own life for over ten years now, largely by dint of necessity. When he had to stop Loki from setting sail on Naglfar, Percy had pointed out that he should purposefully make use of his community, since everyone has different strengths. He likes to think he's actually pretty good at managing the sometimes-destructive whims of teenagers, especially with the years he's put into the Chase Space, but also, depending on a kid's specific needs, sometimes he'd tag in Alex or Hearth or Blitz instead and let them handle it.

This is kind of like that. He likes to think that he has responsibility -- he has, after all, saved the world a bunch -- but he'd be the first to admit he doesn't really project authority, especially in the way an adult-shaped adult would. And it sounds like Sagramore and Lan Wangji will be really good helps with, like, ensuring nobody cuts off a limb. (Toes don't count as limbs. Magnus stands by that choice. Anyway, he reattached it just fine, so.)

"Okay, good," he says, with evident relief.
