Finding herself in an unknown place, Mantis needs a moment to process the woman's reply, and she gives a small nod in acknowledgement. The other carries herself in such a way that Mantis can't help but admire, presence quietly powerful and imposing. Intimidating, even, but Mantis is not afraid.

Something about the woman is... unsettling. Dark. Dangerous. But she is right – she has not done anything to Mantis. The Celestial smiles and straightens.

"My name is Mantis," she says. "Forgive me, I do not know where I am." Exploring the galaxy on her own has its risks – risks she had been willing to take, but Mantis would rather obtain at least some amount of information, especially about the multiple places she visits.

@ziiinthos sent: I wonder what that would be like.

Magnus had been lost in his head for a moment after so much silence between them wondering what it would be like if she moved in with him rather than coming and going as she pleased. Her speaking actually jarred him back to reality rather than his day dream of making her breakfast each morning. He blinked away the haze turning his head towards her and trying to gage from her expression what she had just been talking about. "I'm sorry I got a little lost there." He admitted rubbing at one eye like he was struggling to wake up.

He gave her a boyish smile though hoping she would forgive his absentmindedness. "What do you wonder what would be like?" He questioned because it was a rather large amount of things unless she was in his head. His heart beat just a bit harder wondering if she could do that. He tended to keep people out of his head for a reason, but he was comfortable with her to where it didn't sound like the worst thing.

@ziiinthos sent: “okay,  so you’re a monster.  so am i.  lets be monsters together.”

That was certainly one way to look at what they were. By his standards she was a warlock just that him with being the child of a demon and a human coupling. Though if she wanted to think of them both as monsters than that was her choice and he certainly wasn't one to correct another person. He had had his time of viewing himself as a monster and sometimes those moods came in waves where he saw his eyes and felt it all over again. He let out a little scoff at her words though and nodded his head.

"Yeah, sure. Though I prefer the term warlock over monster personally. Better for the self-esteem I'm sure you understand." Magnus tries to maintain a certain air about him that shows the term doesn't bother him. Though he can feel the monster just slithering beneath the surface how easy it could be to give into his darker urges though he didn't want to become his father. He cared about this world and wanted to see the people that inhabited flourish as he had been doing for the last four hundred years. "Technically you would be a warlock also from what you told me. If that helps anything."

@ziiinthos sent: [ LIE ] — sender rests their head on receiver's chest to hear their heartbeat

There was so much that seemed to develop between them in the time that they had known each other going from allies, to friends, and now to something more than friends. He hadn't dared put a label on anything just yet since he wanted that to be up to Raven, but it was nice whatever it was. Magus closed his eyes as she laid her head on his chest and allowed his hand to stroke down her back slowly. It was a lazy day for them, but it was needed after a night of what felt like had been chaos for some reason or another. Either way it was nice to have a lazy day laying in bed together just drinking one another in.

The warlock shifted to press a soft kiss to her dark hair as she kept her head there over her heart and he smirked to himself. "Penny for your thoughts?" He asked his hand now resting at the small of her back so that he wasn't distracting her too much from anything that may be on her mind. He knew that he was just happy to have this moment with her for however long it would last and was certain she would be able to feel that too.

@ziiinthos sent: "only you can decide what breaks you. only you"

Thinking about it Magnus had let so many things break him in his life time. Some things were his own personal demons, some were people, and the biggest thing that broke him on a regular basis was time. She was right though he chose when to let those different things in and he could decide when they got to break him. He nodded his head slowly at what she said and sighed leaning his head back against the couch. "Sometimes making that conscious decision is difficult. It feels like it just sneaks up when you're least expecting it and rips through you without your permission."

He wasn't even sure if that made sense to her, but perhaps she understood since she was the one giving the advice on what breaks you. Magnus rolled his head over to look at Raven properly tilting his head a little at her as he regarded her. "Where is this coming from?" Had she perhaps felt his demons clawing at the walls of his mind? He knew that she was an empath, but he thought that he hid these things about him better than that. Perhaps he was wrong.

@ziiinthos sent: " you're the only thing that makes sense right now. everything else is just -- the world is so loud. and the only time it feels quiet is when you're here. "

Something about what Raven said to him just made sense because he had noticed how the rest of the world quieted when it was just the two of him. They might have started everything out as just friends mutually looking out for one another, but he felt like something more was developing there too. Or at least he hoped that something more could develop between them since she wasn't like other people that he was around normally. The fact that they could relate to one another on so many different levels perhaps just drew him more to her than to anyone else in his life.

"I understand what you're talking about." He reached out placing a hand on her shoulder hopefully in a comforting manner. Magnus looked into her eyes and gave her a little smile. "The world can be a messy and loud place, but here... When we're together everything is calm and it just feels right." His hand slipped down her arm so that he could instead hold her hand lifting it to his lips and pressing a soft kiss to her knuckles. "You're welcome to stay here for as long as you need if you want and in whatever capacity you would like."

"Thank you."

Mantis looks out one of the windows of the cabin, hands wringing by her waist. Traveling with Raven is surely an adventure – the other woman has been adamant about helping Mantis find her way back home.

But of course, there are people with a deep desire for power. They no longer matter. The two of them are alone now. It is a warm night, quiet and peaceful. Mantis glances at the demoness, but then her gaze falls to her hands.

"But why? I mean – you barely know me."
