[ Jotako sometimes wondered if she should feel guilty that she had some gratitude towards Magnus for being distracting enough that less people noticed her. Her height wasn't a Meta trait, sure, but it still made her stand out most of the time, and his presence just helped distract wandering eyes that usually all settled on her, something she absolutely loathed. So it was no wonder she stuck by him most of the time. Her intimidating aura could rest in his presence, too, allowing herself to keep from ruining the moment.
It didn't help, though that she just about didn't speak at all, even when addressed, letting questions go awkwardly unanswered at all. Thankfully, once again, Magnus had stepped in to her rescue. Her gratitude was hard for most to measure, but for him, it was unmistakable. Always had been. ]
