"I, um." Magnus flushes. His gut instinct had been to say yes, and then as they kept talking, he'd qualified that response. "I kind of gave him a placeholder. I said we could work toward it because who knows what could happen in a hundred years? But that if he hurts anyone else, all bets are off." He makes a face -- Danding's nose suddenly pressing against his hairline is the only thing that keeps him from running his hands through his own hair. "For a little while, I wondered if maybe I should just say yes and use that to hold him accountable. You know? But I talked to, um, Dadgramore about it." Okay, that sounds weird out loud! "And he said I shouldn't agree to something just to get, like, leverage for protection. And Galahad doesn't want me mentioning Claudius to him ever, anyway -- I wouldn't tell him Claudius's business, ever, but I've read these things on restorative justice and they all say the first step is fully acknowledging wrongdoing."
