quiet; it overtakes her once more. part of her wishes to just let everything spill, but the other part is afraid of saying too much.
“ thats the problem, i dont even know. i dont really 𝘥o comfort. ”

⠀
“ .. sorry. that probably sounded really shitty. ” spoken with a heavy sigh, refusing to even remotely glance in magnus’ direction. gods, she hates feeling this way; her own burdens burdening others.

“ it doesnt matter how many times you say it. part of me always fights it. ”

its an embarrassingly short amount of time before alexs features start to soften, gaze diverting. she subtly makes room in case magnus wants to sit—— she doesnt really know how to respond.
“ .. i know. ”

“ ha—ha, you’re funny. ” feigned humor, arms tightly crossed in focus. its admittedly hard to act so casual when magnus is so full of everything smiley over a wad of clay akin to a smushed cakepop. +

“ magnus. ” repeated more firmly this time, giving held hand a light squeeze. gods, sometimes she forgets how stubborn he can be.
“ i dont care what they said. its my own head thats being a pain. ”
⠀
⠀
alex is quick to grab hold of magnus’ hand, finally glancing up to furrow her eyebrows at him. half—frowning. “ magnus, in the nicest way possible, youll get your ass kicked. ”
