And when you do the"-he made a strange and disturbing gesture, and then made the sound woosh, woosh-"magic, sometimes there's a blue light." Magnus stared at him. "I'm failing to see your point." "If you made the baby for yourself and Alec, you can tell me," said Robert. "I'm a very broad-minded man. Or- I'm trying to be. I would understand." "If I made... the... baby...?" Magnus repeated.
