[ His hand slips into the others easily enough with a faint little smile and a nod at those next words. He hadn't really thought about Magnus since he'd left- at least since the surprise of owning the Grey Room and the celebration they'd all had about him.
In a lot of ways, it felt like to Caliban that it was just..easier to think of them finding happiness without the pain of being here.]
Yes- I have no doubt that Alec and Magnus are enjoying quite a wonderful life together. Magnus was never one to keep his love or his life so simple.
[ He mused lightly as he watched the other for a few moments.]
You are, however, allowed to miss him you know. Every day if you wish.
[ It was hard to argue with the others words- after all, he'd seen the other in the state he was when Alec was first swept away before he gave a little nod as he had the feeling this wasn't something John actually wanted to fight about.]
Fine-..
[ There's a little pause before-]
If you wish to take his memories away again, I do wish you come to be first for such a thing but- how you wish to deal with this...pain and loss is up to you.
[ He pointed out as he reached up a hand to cup the other's neck with a little nod.]
But I do not deny that it is better to focus on what is here- right now while you can.
Pretty sure I've numbed myself to all my memories by now, so. Nothing I have to worry about there.
[ The smile he gives Caliban is faint — bittersweet almost. He's mostly just tired.
Slow shake of his head, he lets himself lean into that touch there at his neck, eyes falling shut for just a moment or two before he's looking back to the demon there in front of him. Standing there together in their home. ]
Life goes on, I guess. Whether I want it to or not.

[ Sigh on his lips, he looks up to Caliban, hand still holding his. ]
Just better to let him go. You know? For both our sakes.
