"Cool, that works!" Magnus glances at Laertes. He's not an adult-shaped adult in the way that Hanguang-jun or Sagramore or Ragnelle are, but he's a good friend, and Magnus has been marinating on Galahad's question -- about why Magnus finds it easier to be physically close with some friends than others -- ever since he asked it a couple weeks ago.

Magnus is, like, totally fine. He's all healed and everything! But he really has been left with this sense that he wants to be closer to the people here in all sorts of ways. So: "Can I give you a hug?"
