Shen Yuan had been very prepared to supportively lie his ass off about how Magnus looked in this dress. He'd been certain it wouldn't look good on him, not because he's a boy, but because the dress itself is so neon and terrible. But—"It's actually kind of great," he says, surprised enough to fail to hide his surprise.
Part of it is that Magnus looks so happy in it—quietly and a little embarrassedly happy, but happy nonetheless. But it also kind of works, on him, with his blond hair and coloring. He remembers Galahad describing Magnus as the summer, and maybe that's why. He looks like a cloud of summer flowers, a sunburst of warmth and light and growing things. "You definitely need flowers in your hair," he says. "To match with Galahad's, for the portrait series, but also, like, generally." He looks at Galahad. "What do you think? Cactus flower? Saffron crocus?"
