For a second it doesn't follow -- hasn't it been helping with that? Then it realizes several things at once: a) Magnus said 'something else', implying if I'm assaulted by another random flying sword, b) but he asked for Alex when he was injured, not for Galahad, c) except, that's right, he did mention Galahad, along with a bunch of other people; he was just incoherent enough that Murderbot didn't register that as a request. Well, fuck.
But it's told Galahad before that he can contact it if he needs to, and to pass that on to his romantic partner -- but d) oh yeah, it didn't actually include Magnus in that offer.
(It takes another .25 of a second to decide whether it's annoyed that Galahad didn't make the connection, or touched that Galahad didn't make the assumption. Galahad seems pretty careful, for a human, about things other than his own health, so it's inclined toward the latter. Maybe it's being optimistic again.)
"Yes," it says. "Probably. What did you have in mind?"
