<span style="font-family:Amaranth">Quentin knew that every word Margo said was true. She was every bit true to her word when it came to protecting Eliot. He had seen it for himself plenty of times of the last 3 years. The brunette knew that his friend would have no trouble taking him out if he hurt Eliot, and he wouldn't blame her in the slightest. But the truth was, his head was spinning right now. Between everything that had happened in Old Fillory and what had been in the process of happening between himself and Eliot, maybe he did need to take some time to think about it. <br/>
<br/>
But as he reached the last stair and entered the living room of the Physical house, his eyes immediately seeked out Eliot. And in that moment, he was sure of his feelings for the other man. A feeling of indecision came over him, and he couldn't decide if he should try and sit beside Eliot, or if it would make his friend more comfortable if he sat beside Julia. However, the choice was taken away from him when he watched as Margo dropped down onto the couch beside Eliot, took one of his hands into hers and squeezed it. <br/>
<br/>
With a sigh, he regretfully turned away from them and took the seat besides Julia. "Hey Jules, what have you been up to for the last few days?" His dark eyes were focused on hers and he realized it had been a while since they had really talked.<br/>

Margo wasted no time and dropped down into the space besides Eliot on the couch. "We need to figure out what we're gonna do. Brakebills is still shutting down and since it's been sold to McAllister, it's only a matter of time before we're all kicked out, the place is bulldozed, and we're forced to go back to the real world and get horrible jobs." She paused for a moment and then said, "Wait. When I walked in on the two of you about to fuck, Q was doing magic." She shifted on the couch and glanced between her two friends. <br/>
<br/>
"What did I miss? The only one in Brakebills that still has magic was Julia and then Alice, and now Julia again as she took it back." After she said that, she leaned in close and whispered in Eliot's ear. "Don't start bitching, but I read Q the riot act. He knows that if he fucks things up with you, I'll kill him. And I'm a woman of my word. Nobody hurts my best friend and gets away with that shit." Once she had said that, she stopped whispering and dropped her head down onto her best friend's shoulder. <br/>
<br/>
"I really wish that we still drank. Being unable to get drunk or high anymore is no fun. Life is boring as fuck when you have to face it sober. I don't know how the hell you do it. The smallest thing makes me want to rip someone's throat out."</span></span>
