Magnus had always had a general rule about letting people make their own mistakes. He was however fully aware that sometimes he still let himself care more than he ought to. But for well over a hundred years now he hadn’t let himself get overly involved involved with anyone beyond the warlocks underneath his watch as High Warlock. With very few exceptions, and both of them vampires. Raphael. And Elijah.
Elijah came and went, no matter how many times Magnus tried to warn him, or the times he offered more than just a few trysts over the centuries. And over and over Magnus had ended up hearing tales, or heard from Elijah or Rebekah themselves, of the tragedies and violences that befell them. No matter how many betrayals, no matter the loss, Elijah always went back to his siblings.
The last he’d seen of Elijah had been after they’d found a cure for that nasty bite he had been suffering. And Magnus hadn’t been surprised in the least to see him go. He was, however, quite surprised to see him return. Through the doors of the Hunter’s Moon, somehow looking perfectly at home in the bar. Magnus watched him curiously before he finally caught the vampire’s eyes. He quietly ordered what he knew the original would be drinking and it was set down almost as the vampire joined him at the bar.
”Not that I’m complaining but I was expecting a few years to pass before you came back to my city. Did you leave your favorite suit?” he teased, pushing the glass towards Elijah. “Or did you just miss me that much?”
