His heart broke a little more at the way Alec gripped his shirt, and he rested his hand over Alec's to rub his thumb over his knuckles and the wedding band on his ring finger. "We're not leaving until everyone is safe," he assured Alec, knowing that it would be pointless to fight him on the subject even if he had wanted to. He was proud of his husband for protecting those who couldn't protect themselves, and it was his turn to help in that mission.

Tearing the collar off and tossing it away, he gently kissed either side of Alec's neck. He reached out with his magic, quickly assessing Alec's injuries and checking that nothing more serious was happening beneath the surface. Before he could reply to the comment on fighting with magic, Magnus' attention snapped back to Alec's face. "Sage is here?" he asked, feeling the weight of dread creeping back into the pit of his stomach where it had been living before he'd seen Alec again. "I need to make sure he's safe, too," he mumbled, more to himself than to Alec. With Jace fighting elsewhere, Magnus knew that his husband would be taken care of in case he had to help others.

Reaching again for Alec's hand, Magnus pushed his magic and strength into him to help speed up the healing and recover him from the long period of mistreatment. "You can have more if you need it, Alexander," he said, eyes losing their glamor as he focused on several more important things. "We can share, too," he added, glancing at their joined hands to add to the implication.
