Galahad wants a watch. It would make it so much easier to keep the hours -- he's already thinking about how he'd map them onto the twenty-four equal hours, and then he'd know exactly when to pray. It would make it easier to be home (he doesn't realize that he thinks of Claudius' rooms as home, but that's the place he's envisioning) when he wants to be. It would be easier to know when to eat, since his body rarely registers hunger in a clear way. It would be easier to match his understanding to someone else's, especially since Magnus has made the variation acutely clear. He longs for a watch, and compared to some of his other longings this feels safe and uncomplicated.

"Thank you." He means for explaining all this.
