Tea time

"Speech!"

When the familiar scent of peppermint filled his nostrils the deja vu feeling wouldn't go away, however he tried hard to focus on Kiyo's reply instead of the own strange feeling he had. He moved to sit next to her, but not so close that it was difficult to see her face. When she admitted that she had been better he frowned immediately, purple eyes searching for her own silver one. When she continued, admitting that she had a son and who he was, what he had done, Magnus couldn't sway the feeling inside any longer though struggled to remain intact for Kiyo as she admitted what was bothering her. Flashes of images whirled in his head, clouding his thoughts with questions about what was happening. He could hardly focus on what Kiyo had really said, but something about her uttering the words about having a son, Magnus felt some sort of... kinship?

But he didn't have any kids... right? His head pounded sharply then, breaking his memories...thoughts?

Magnus blinked hard, realizing in that moment that he had taken a moment to answer and probably was worrying Kiyo. Suddenly his lost eyes flashed down to his tea and he took a quick drink before forcing his mind off the things he was seeing behind his eyes.

He didn't even know how to answer her about what was bothering her. He wanted to comfort her, but wasn't sure how. He still wasn't even sure why he felt like he also had kids. He couldn't remember having kids... right?

"I'm sorry, I─" He stopped then, pausing only briefly. "My head just started pounding, I'm sorry." He lied, but his head was pounding, though for a different reason than he suggested as he rubbed up near his growing crystal horns. "Venom's husband." He rumbled with a clear tone of annoyance, her words coming to him finally. Although he hadn't actually been to Ashen since his apparent return to the armada, he couldn't exactly remember how he knew that bit of information. He also didn't know why he felt so bothered by this, considering he hardly cared about the affairs of the packs before now.
