week six; friday, post-investigation w/ nico.
FRIDAY, post-investigation.
[ sometime after the body announcement and whatnot, magnus will track down his favorite fellow demigod cat.
while holding a. cat. a tiger. a baby tiger, who is pawing at magnus' hair or something. somehow magnus manages to look somber despite this. ]
Hey. How'd your investigation go? I found a leg.
no subject
We found an arm, so I assume they both belong to Waver, considering.
no subject
I should hope so. But geeze, who decided to make a human jigsaw?
[ a moment. ] Do you need a towel? You look soaked.
no subject
...starting with how long you plan to keep the tiger cub.
no subject
Until tomorrow morning... then I'll go get the baby dragon, bring her to the trial, I guess. Then get Alex the tiger again on Sunday? [ he's blushing a bit, and sets the tiger down to let it play. ] Listen, they were begging to leave their enclosure? They deserve to get some time outside it, they're just babies.
[ don't judge him, nico. ]
no subject
[He's gonna judge because he's kind of a jerk sometimes. But also Magnus that's...cute. Nico's even going to crouch a little to see if the tiger comes to him. (He's getting used to animals not freaking out on him when he doesn't smell like death.)]
no subject
[ wow nico.
alex the tiger does come to him and gently smacks at his pant leg. is this an edible leg? ]
no subject
So definitely not someone important to you or anything. That would be incredibly dorky. [He gets it. He also gently smacks the tiger's paw back? Please don't eat his leg, he needs it.]
no subject
[ well now the tiger thinks nico is playing and Attacks nico's smacking hand. probably sans claws. hopefully sans claws. ]
no subject
Clearly. [A beat.] So who are these imaginary people?
no subject
Sam was my Valkyrie. She's a real badass. Alex is her sibling, she came to Valhalla after me. They're both the kids of Loki, who sucks, but they're good. First time I saw her, she was shapeshifted into a tiger. Then she killed me with a garrote? But yeah.
What imaginary people would you name pets after?
no subject
And...the tiger would be Will. Child of Apollo. [A pause.] And my boyfriend.
They're always my first thoughts. Besides Reyna.
no subject
We'll get home to our friends, imaginary or otherwise. I'm sure of that.

Don't you just live in a hotel? I didn't know you guys had to have permission to take off.
no subject
Yeah, a magic hotel on the edge of all Nine Worlds. Well, if we didn't, do you know how many dead people from every era would be wandering around? I think the regular people might actually catch on if there were too many. We're only really supposed to leave for quests and stuff. But I think Odin likes me well enough I can get away with more?

...you get used to it after a while. Being part of a different time period than the one you were born in. But I see your point.
no subject
[ head tilt. he assumed nico was, uh. just a regular millennial? ]
