[ It speaks to a certain sense of permanence. Raphael is a constant in his life, or has been long enough that it would be terribly difficult to imagine him not being there. However close they've been over time, it's still comforting to think that he's there. And Magnus certainly considers him a friend. It might sometimes be a somewhat antagonistic friendship, but he values it very highly.
There's a level of trust. And it has to be acknowledged, because they both worked very hard to get to this point.
Where joking around about dating advice, not to mention actually giving it, is possible. Magnus isn't recanting on that! ] Oh, you never do a terrible job at anything, amigo. Well, except maybe supporting my obviously unimpeachable fashion choices!
Only one, hm? I'll have to think on that. [ Since it'll have to be the best possible suggestion. Only the best for Raphael.
We'll put off the family discussion for another time then too.
[ raphael makes a very non-committal sound in response. fine, magnus. use whatever word you deem appropriate. there's no real way to deny that their lives are completely entangled, and are likely never to change.
even when they'd first found themselves separate after long months of existing almost solely in each other's space, having nearly driven each other somewhat batty, raphael did feel a small spark of vulnerability at not having magnus' steady presence nearby. he's not likely to admit to it, but it was there as he'd been adopted into the clan, and remained there until he'd found his place. there was always some level of comfort in seeing magnus afterwards, though if it was business, raphael was nothing but diplomatic.
they each have their own way in the world and the know-how to navigate it alone, but they're not likely to ever stop finding ways to invite the other in once and a while. the world would feel wrong otherwise. ]
What do you expect when you ask impossible things of me? I mean, sé razonable. [ you and your fashion choices, magnus. imagine the chaos that would ensue if they were to swap wardrobes. ]
My good mood won't last forever. [ but he says so lightly.
there will be time to talk about alec and family later, of course. ]

Pity. ]
