Paperwork. If there was a task everyone disliked, Magnus included, that would have to be it. No one with an ounce of common sense would like doing paperwork. It was long and didn’t serve any other purpose than making government officials happy when they audited one of her Sanctuaries.

Everything had seemingly blown up and gone to hell and Henry was taking refuge in his room. Devon and Tesla had gone on some kind of raid with John, gotten captured - prompting a rescue mission, which had been scrapped when they'd rescued themselves.
