"I think he'll be okay though," Magnus says, eventually -- out loud, since Galahad's not looking. "He's really smart, and you're learning medicine, and I can heal. And I think that --" He pauses, gathering his thoughts. All of his biggest worries are about things he can't control. Something occurs to him. "There's this prayer I heard of, back home? Not in Valhalla for any of the gods I know. I think it's for your god, actually. I learned it when I was homeless from some of the guys at one of the shelters. 'God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.'" It's been an okay fit for Magnus's own life -- he's already trying to change what he can to push Ragnarok back without, like, tilting at windmills or whatever -- and maybe it'll be handy for Galahad, too.
