[He returns with a giant-ass Tervis tumbler full of water. Assuming these exist here. Why wouldn't they. His cough has mostly subsided by now but he's still clearing his throat.]
Still good! [He gives Lup a thumbs-up. And then coughs.]
Me too. [He looks at her fondly.] I think I was supposed to end up here. I think Riverview, like... pulled us back together again. On purpose.
[He glances back down at the bong.] This isn't even hitting me yet. Lup, we're gonna get reaaal sappy in a few minutes. [He takes another hit and this time the coughing is minimal.]
I hope so... or something like that. It's been fucked up here without our family. Not my first choice of place, but... as long as we're all together it doesn't even matter.
[She smiles at him and makes a little thumbs up as he manages to no cough as much this time.]
[Taako, who is the best brother in the world, doesn't take too long to show up after Lup's call, arriving with a bag hooked over his arm that smells suspiciously like cheap and shitty Chinese food. He makes quick work of toeing off his boots and hanging up the umbra staff, and then he's wandering into the living room to check out their little set up.]
I can't believe you shits got started without me. In my own home and everything. Fucking rude.
[Even if Magnus had been sober, he still would not have sympathy for having fun without Taako. This was his Lup time. Let him be. However, that food smell... Magnus pops his head out of the blanket fort and thrusts his fists into the air in celebration.]
You're contractually fucking obligated to love me, dumbass.
[But he hands over the food, including those shitty wooden chopsticks that come with take out, because he's not dumb enough to get between a stoned elf and her food.
And for all his fussing, he really doesn't care that they got started without him. He gets it.]
Fuck, have you been crying? You've been crying, haven't you? I know the both of you.
[He sounds so grossed out, as though he's accusing them of cannibalism or something.]
Uh, I've been smoking, dude. That's why my eyes are red. [He's absolutely been crying. He just really loves his friends, okay? Without missing a beat, he adds,] Get the fuck in here and get high with us, asshole.
[He retreats back into the tent and almost grabs at the food with his bare hands, but has just enough sense to take a pair of chopsticks first. Barely.]
[Things Taako won't say no to: blanket forts, and bongs, so he follows Magnus back into their little set up and accepts the bong from Lup, taking a hit before he deigns them with a response.]
It's super fucking sad that you two don't hang out enough, was that it?
[He remembers this joke. Sometimes fondly, sometimes with an eyeroll. Sometimes (like right now) it's both.]

Aw hell yeah, you got snacks! Gonna need those. ... Is that my sweatshirt?
no subject
Mmmmmmmaybe?
no subject
I'll let it slide this time. [As if he hasn't let it slide every other time.] You are providing me with The Good Kush, so who am I to complain?
Oh shit, Lup, I haven't done this in a while. I was, like, straightedge in Raven's Roost.
no subject
Her ears perk up a bit at the next thing he says, though, and she can't help laughing.]
Oooh shit Maggie, you're gonna get fucked up on this. Maybe you should take it really slow.
no subject
[He waves his hand.]
I'll take it as fast as I wanna take it. I'll be fine.
no subject
[She has blankets and mood lighting with some soft pink Dancing Lights. It's perfect.]
Make yourself comfy, I got the goods.
no subject
[He puffs out his chest to prove his point.]
Ready when you are, sis!
no subject
I traded way too many cupcakes for this, so it better really be the good kush.
no subject
When he takes his turn on the bong, he coughs up a fuckin' lung. Dumb baby thought he'd be okay.]
'scuse me. [He pops out of the tent for a glass of water, laughing at himself through coughs all the way to the kitchen.]
no subject
Amazing.]
no subject
Still good! [He gives Lup a thumbs-up. And then coughs.]
no subject
[Lup returns the gesture with a finger gun and then hands him another pillow so he'll sit up more and not choke on that cough.]
This finally feels normal.
no subject
[As silly as it is to get nostalgic over smoking weed of all things, she's right. It's been a minute.]
Yeah. This feels good. [... He coughs. Then he takes the pillow from Lup and rearranges himself.]
Okay, hit me again.
no subject
Here you go, Mags. Don't choke this time.
[Lup cuddles further down into her sweatshirt and gives a content sigh.]
I'm so fucking glad you're here, Magnus.
no subject
[He glances back down at the bong.] This isn't even hitting me yet. Lup, we're gonna get reaaal sappy in a few minutes. [He takes another hit and this time the coughing is minimal.]

[She smiles at him and makes a little thumbs up as he manages to no cough as much this time.]
Damn right we are. I'm expecting happy crying.
no subject
Maybe the others will come around eventually. I mean, they've gotta...
[He pauses, then realizes he needs to turn this conversation around if he doesn't wanna get too sad. Never a good idea when you'e tokin' up.]
Oookay, anyway. Let me at some of those munchies.
no subject
[She's still butthurt about forgetting how to use her magic, okay? Sometimes the weirdness of this place worried her.
...but a change in topic is great, and she scoots a bit so that he has full access of her little munchie assembly.]
Got all the good stuff here, my man. I also got some fizzy drink that's just amazing. Got no booze in it so it's a safe mix, but it tastes great.
[She places a bottle of orange soda on the small table in the blanket fort.]
no subject

no subject
You brought food!
no subject
Her brother arriving with the goods brightens her up and she's grinning at him.]
I knew I loved you!
[She makes a 'gimmie' gesture to the food. Well, what masqueraded as food, at least. Takeout was special weed food.]
Sorry man, but this was my Magnus time and I needed to get some dumb talks and cuddles in before I dragged you into the mess.
no subject

[Yeah she's high.]
Oh no, we've definitely been bawling our eyes out.
[Lup says between bites of noodles.]
It's just so sad that we've never... uh... what were we talking about again? Never mind, here.
[She hands over the pretty glittery bong to her brother as a peace gift.]
