[He thinks it might work, or rather he thinks he might contribute to it working, and possibly die in the process. But even more than that, it just seems to him that even if he throws himself at it, and he only makes a dent, and then he dies, that's one more dent for the next person to work on, which is better than the awful helpless feeling of really thinking about what the hell just happened to his home. And he has promises, that his frozen friends will be kept safe, which is all he wants really - well, that and one other thing, which is a strange thing to remember, because for so long it was the other way around. He may live, but if he doesn't, well, there's always Julia. And now it's more complicated than that, maybe, but he hasn't had the courage just yet to think about it or even go look. It's a big grey empty space that can't make him feel more okay about the possibility of losing his life anymore, but can't drive him in any other direction, either.

But the scoosh of panic reminds him of another thing he needs to consider: that Taako is here too, and Taako doesn't see these things the way he does, and it's not fair to Taako to ask him to throw away his life just because Magnus has weird feelings about it. And anyway, he doesn't want Taako to. He frowns, frustrated, but obviously backing down a little, displaying just a bit of concern.]

Well, do me a favor and go ahead and keep your mind unmelted. You really think we can fight it some way other than that?
