"We've kind of committed to living in the moment," Magnus says, partly to Galahad and partly to himself. "Which is good, I was actually really bad at that. I'm a little better now, but it's a lot easier for Alex than it is for me. I like to know... that there's a plan, or a way to come up with a plan, or what things mean. Alex is a lot more flexible. Changeable, if you will." This is a joke about Alex being a shapeshifter. "A lot of the stuff I'm scared to ask about is stuff that's about -- definitions, or plans for the future. What things mean."
