brave and strong and broken all at once

Magnus raised a brow at her words, a small smirk playing on his lips. Who wouldn't want to have someone to cuddle up with while recovering? He would've made Belle stay all day long if he could have, but he knew the Empress had things to do at the time and couldn't be burdened with keeping him company all hours of the day. Unfortunately he knew what it was like to be bored while recovering and he felt for Aslatiel being bored and alone all of the time. Even if she didn't want Basilisk to stay with her, Magnus was tempted to threaten him to.

"Perhaps, but it's better than being alone." He shrugged a bit, leaving his paw on hers without really thinking much about it. She asked if he had any big plans and he couldn't really think of anything. The usual duties and chores of course, but nothing exciting or worthwhile. "Nothing really, just the usual." He shrugged again, sounding a bit bored with the daily routine. He'd honestly rather hide out with Asla than go do his usual chores.
