[ Interesting, again. Magnus arches a brow. ] Do I know you that well? You're right, I might be defensive, but there's a certain wisdom in being cautious when we're all from such diverse backgrounds, don't you think? [ It's exactly those differing opinions that cause Magnus to be wary of mentioning his heritage. He's pretty accustomed to judgment over it when people have an idea of the history, but it can be a bummer when he's in a brand-new world and presuppositions take hold!

Either way, he has gotten comfortable with the idea of talking about what he is, regardless of how uncomfortable it can be when he meets people for whom demons are the thing destroying their home or livelihood, etc, etc, and it takes some doing to explain his connection to dear ole dad is extremely tenuous. So, yes. Defensive, but not just of his reputation. Of potential friends, too. ]

[ With more energy: ] To answer your question, I have! I was living in a world other than my own for about a year before I came here. Very different to this one, I think.
