Magnus is halfway into autopiloting his usual reaction when Lancelot gets a hit whenever someone else has joined them -- clapping his hand to the spot, letting out an almighty wail, and shouting, 'he got me! avenge me!' (usually their visitors are Sunny -- who likes Playing Swords and who Magnus doesn't want to worry and also it's really cute when she goes raaaaa and does her little chubby-leg toddler run at him, sometimes with her little wooden practice sword in hand and but more often with just her teeth bared -- or Alex, who sometimes sides with Lancelot, sometimes shouts totally unhelpful things like 'sigma delta offensive!' or 'fourth down!', and on one very notable occasion, kissed the boo-boo as soon as they were done) -- when he remembers that it's Hanguang-jun with them, and Hanguang-jun probably won't react in that way. He gets as far as the wail, then pulls up short, replays Lancelot's movements in his mind, and tries to recreate the twist.
"Like that?" he asks, running through the motions twice more.
