"I don't want you to think I'm using you." Alec knows how that feels and he doesn't want Magnus to ever question why he wants to see him. That it isn't about magic or being the High Warlock. "I came over to see you not to be healed." Smiling wryly, he nodded toward his injured arm. "The rune worked enough that I figured it would quit bleeding eventually."

The last sparks of magic tingle along his arm and his smile turns to something softer as he lifts his hand. Pausing, he's wonders how much he's allowed. Can he touch or kiss Magnus without crossing some line he doesn't know yet? Some of that indecision is reflected in his eyes before he returns his hand to where it had been before. "Thank you. Does that mean I can stay for awhile before heading back to the Institute?"
