He moved behind her, a silent protector for the time being unsure really what he should say or do, the creature that he would have otherwise thought was just something to be stepped on he felt the need to protect. The only thing save for Viora he really felt any attachment too. It was annoying… very annoying. He wasn’t sure what to make of this situation still as he followed behind the half-starved looking girl, face looking angry though really he just had a resting angry face always to begin with. He didn’t know that she was starting to think herself the way he had originally saw her. Pathetic, weak. She was still these things, he just might not say it as grumpily as he had before. He was snappy and angry he just wasn’t sure how to express any other emotion save that even if he felt otherwise. Not that he really cared, no not really. Magnus was happy being forever standoffish and unapproachable. That meant only those who had enough guts to stand tall in front of him, like Viora, would approach him to begin with. The girl even had the guts to snap at them the first time they had met.

His feelings for Fjallraven were amorphous at best. He wasn’t sure what he thought of her anymore. He knew he had that stupid bond with her, tying their fates together. He wished he had it simple, wished he was unable to bind or at least never would have found her, but she would probably be dead if they hadn’t met. Fate was a funny thing and also a bitch. Why would it put him with the exact thing he despised most in this world, did it want him to change her? Well it was something certainly on his mind. Teach her to take care of herself maybe then he would at least not be as frustrated with her usual pathetic-ness. That, he thought, was the reason fate put them together, to toughen her up. It was obvious right?

He could tell she was pushing herself today though. Not that he cared, he was happy to see her moving, and trying to do something rather than slowly shrivel up in that hole that was his den. At her reply to him saying she felt bad for keeping him there he gave a huff, ”If I didn’t want to stay there I would have left. So stop apologizing.” Really he would have he didn’t exactly care that much he guessed, plus what stupid choice did he have than to sit and hover over her like a buffoon. It didn’t occur to him that there might be others who she worried may or may not care about her and what happened. No one certainly had come looking that was obvious.

”Well we should go see and if he doesn’t care I will kick his ass before we go back to Glorall.” He said shrugging slightly before she continued stating that she causes everyone problems and maybe that he should have left her. ”That might be true that you caused me some hell, but it don’t matter anymore. It’s done, I helped you quit regretting my actions. Next time I see you being mauled to death and you want to die tell me before I start chewing on their asses, got it? Until then I think I should teach you to fend for yourself, and that includes fighting.” He said shooting her a very toothy grin. ”I think you can do it, just need to get some meat on your skinny bones first.” before pushing her so she would fall into the water. He couldn’t be too nice, even though he was fairly certain he would have to pull her out, he just wasn’t going to have her saying that crap about herself.
