It may not be a photorealistic sketch of Alex, and Galahad may have swapped Alex's eyes (because Magnus didn't clarify which was which), and the hair might be a little long, but it's perfect. Galahad has captured the important stuff. Magnus wants to reach out and touch it... so he does, one careful stroke, outside of the smudgeable lines of the charcoal.

The frog is also spectacular. Magnus laughs when he looks at it. "First of all, dude, I want that in full size so I can hang it in my room or maybe give it to her next time I see her," he tells Galahad. "Second of all, they, like, sweat the poison." It's an imperfect description, but good enough. "Don't get me wrong, this is perfect, Alex would totally bite someone like that, but the poison is inside their glands. And on their skin."
