Caliban resists a soft sigh at the obvious question from the almost mortal, of course he had to be the one to deliver such news. He does, however, give a lopsided smirk and gives a little nod. " Last time I saw him, which was a few days ago...He's Magnus Bane's submissive. A man who I quite admire and I do believe cares for him. " He pointed out with a little simple nod before he continued to speak. "He's made friends- and he's been here a few months. He's quite safe." He assured, his voice even and honest. After all why lie about that?

His head did tilt at the answer about the runes however- partly because Caliban could be a bit of a sadist at times and because the magic was truly interesting if you asked him. "Activate them?" So the magic wasn't working all the time. "Interesting.." he added a moment later as he glanced towards the city. " I find them quite beautiful, either way. Thank you for the answer."
