Letting out a sigh, he wrapped an arm around Magnus, trying not to think of how much effort it took. He hadn't been this tired since after they fought Sebastian, but at least everyone he cared about was safe. Sensing Magnus' scrutiny, Alec opened his eyes and gave him a weary smile. "I'm okay. Nothing runes couldn't fix. I was careful." He'd known that there'd be no relying on his husband if he needed to be healed or any of the other magic users or doctors that were at the hospital. There were too many injured for Alec to become another person for them to try to treat.
Humming softly at the kisses, he lifted their joined hands so he could brush his lips across the Alliance rune. "I thought so but I wasn't sure if I dreamed it or not." Now that he knew for sure, he could finally relax and not worry about finding a way to help Magnus power the wards without either one of them giving too much of themselves. "You're safe. Izzy's safe." Looking around them, he felt a pang of loss that was somehow worse than during the wars. "When we go out there, it's going to be worse than Alicante."
