( magnus had been hoping to hear some reassurance that alec wasn't about to think it so difficult to deal with his immortality that he would leave. he doesn't want to believe alec would do such a thing, but he knows how it goes, has lived it many times before, except never with someone who meant so much.
the question only furthers his fear, but he swallows and waits a moment and doesn't say anything as he wills it to pass. it sounds so much like the start of 'maybe we're too different' again. if this was anyone else he would pull away, finish his drink, summon himself another and say nothing. but it's alec, and magnus respects him too much to be flippant about their relationship. he has never loved anyone like him and never will again. he knows that as well as he knows his own name. )
What do you think we should do? ( as much as alec might have made mistakes, magnus really does value his thoughts, his opinions. alec is wise in his own special way.
that, and since it was alec who brought it up, magnus wants to give him the possibility of choice. even if it means alec might consider leaving. )
