[ Fortunato doesn't want to talk, really. It's how he functions. It was so much easier to not speak- to not worry about the weight of his words- if he wasn't doing it. Or at least wasn't doing it out loud.

He twists his fingers together. It's hard to explain this without explaining everything, or to make Magnus feel like he's done something wrong. ]

...There is not anything I want to say. [ Might as well be blunt, although saying it out loud makes him kind of embarrassed. ] It- it is not you.

[ Well, shit. That's a lot more worrying than anything else Fortunato could have said. Was his life really that bad? Magnus has had his suspicions, of course - everyone here's had kind of crappy lives, one way or another - but to have absolutely nothing to share...

Oofa doofa. ]

Um.

[ Fortunato can say it's not him all he likes, but not wanting to share one thing - yeah, it's kind of him too, isn't it. ]

Allllllllrighty then. That's, uh. That, then.

[ Fortunato reads that as a bit of disappointment, which he doesn’t like to think he inspired in Magnus. His brow furrows and he looks away for a second, finding a way to smooth it over. He supposes Magnus might want this to be over... ]

...Thank you, again. It is a very nice gift. [ He means that. ]

I- I hope it did not take very much time.
