Magnus touches Galahad's elbow, guiding him toward the hall. As they walk, he starts to tell him about Blitzen. "He's really cool," he says. "He and Hearthstone -- Hearth's an elf, he's Deaf and he's Blitzen's boyfriend -- it turns out they watched over me when I was homeless, cuz they knew I was a demigod and that Loki wanted to target me due to all those prophesies. But for years I thought they were some dudes who were just being kind to a kid who was down on his luck. People at the shelters used to call them my mom and dad." It's clear he's touched by this, even though he doesn't particularly like to call anyone but his mom 'mom.'

"Anyway, Blitz is technically my cousin? His mom is my dad's sister, even though we don't really track relationships on the godly side since, uh, that gets really complicated." In a stage whisper, he adds, "A lot of gods are kinda hos. And deadbeats. Not a useful family relationship to track."

They reach the door of the Mansion. Magnus holds it open for Galahad.
