With the boy filled with rage, he'd only have that much less mercy when attacking. Magnus figured he might be walking away from this with a few scrapes and tears.

"I would never leave, Azure. Everyone has, you have, done so much for me." He tried to settle him with smoother words, calming his own tone but leaving his guard raised and his stance ready to protect himself. Azure could definitely do some damage if he wasn't careful.
