Alec fought back a smile when he noticed how his husband's fingers twitched, knowing that Magnus was excited by the idea of a new project to work on. Their lives were filled with magic, but not the type of challenges that Magnus had been used to when he was High Warlock. This would probably excite Magnus as much as the wedding plans. "Is that why you compare me to silver?" He had done it a few times, and had hinted at it in the journal he'd given Alec, but there might be more reasons than just silver being rare. "I don't know why we use silver instead of gold, but it is stronger. Maybe it holds magic better than gold."

Without realizing it had been there, something eased in Alec's shoulders. Until Magnus had answered, he hadn't realized how nervous he was that his husband might miss that life. "It also had terrible hours and was hard on the floors," he teased, not wanting to think of the 'pet warlock' comment Magnus had made almost a year ago or how much he'd worried over people thinking Magnus' magic had no limits. No one here tried to push Magnus so far that he depleted his magic. Almost shivering at the touch, Alec caught Magnus' hand, brushing a quick kiss against his knuckles. "I hope we can. Lux will be a good place, once we make it work."

The blush brightened and he almost suggested that they skip the rest of dinner, but he knew that anticipation would make the night better. Making a thoughtful sound, he smiled at his husband. "Dinner, dancing and then we see if you can magic up something special for me to wear tonight."
