Out in the back area, Magius stands, on thin air, just above the waters of the lake, watching the sky and the back area. His face is blank of expression and he wanders sometimes, stands others, always a little above the lake waters, sometimes near the edge, sometimes far out in the middle. His eyes shimmer with silver light as he walks and uses his magic quietly. It has been a long few days for the somewhat broken wizard.

Paige fancied a breath of fresh air, she'd been cooped up since she'd attacked and missed the lask, she stepped outside and saw Magius in mid air, she was worried that if she distracted him he might just fall. So she just stood by the lake watching him until he noticed her.

HIs wanderings eventually lead him to notice her, but his glance is almost blank. Even so, he wanders her way and stops in front of her, still standing in air.

"Hello..."

His voice is coarse and quiet, almost strained and his eyes are bleak, other than that his face shoiws no expression at all.

Paige frowns and looks up at him, it's obvious to her there's something thing wrong with him.

"Magius? Stupid question, but...are you okay?" she asks softly holding her hand out to him

He looks at her and sighs.

"No. But I will be. In time."

If his voice sounds somewhat strained it is to be expected, except she doesnt know that yet.

Nope she's completely in the dark as to why he's so up set and she's worried.

"What's wrong?" she asks still looking up at him

His yees close witrh an expression almost of pain and he sinks to the ground slowly. When he spakes his voice is even more hoarse and quiet, almost as if stretched over something and thin to the rbeaking point.

"Nina, my fiance, who was dead, Went On... to Hell."

His breath is quiet, almost non-existant and he does not re-open his eyes.

Paige lets out a small gasp of shock and puts her hand over her mouth and just looks at him for a moment her head reeling. she has no idea what to say to him.

She steps closer to hug him tightly, "maybe she'll be able to get back," Paige says quietly, well she is the optimistic type.

He blinks at the hug. This seems to be a common reaction lately and he sighs. He gently pats her back, awkwardly.

"Maybe. There is always hope."

The words are in the same quiet voice, tone unchanged.

Paige steps back and looks up at him again, "People come back from hell in my world," she continues in the hope of reassuring him, she wasn't about to admit maybe she really gone, it just wasn't Paige's style

"I'm sorry though Magius, if there's anything we can do," by 'we' she means her sisters, the Charmed Ones seemed to be able to do anything they put their minds to.

Magius nods, a little. he knew there was hope. It was the only reason he wasnt completely insane, or dead.

"Thank you."

His eyes are darker slightly, but still unfocussed.

"How are you?"

She doesn't really like to say how happy she is with Dave, given the circumstances it's just insensitive and not really something he needs to hear about. So she doesn't mention that part of her life.

"I'm okay, my shoulder's all healed up and my sister Prue's here now," she pauses for a moment, "she's dead."

He nods.

"I am glad to hear you are here and happy, and with your sister."

He nods, face unchanged.

"I hope it is always so."

Paige smiles slightly, "We could probably go to hell if you thought it'd help, you know, get her back," she tells him, cos apparently Paige wanted visited hell in as many world's as possible, perhaps she's writing a guide book.

He sighs, and looks down.

"There are apparently many hells, and there is no way to tell which one you would end up in. I tried to go.... but was stopped. I... would not want you to experience what I did."

His words are if anything even more hoarse.

Paige nods, "we managed to get to the underworld where Serena was and that wasn't even in this timeline. Just, think about it okay? If need any help we're here and I'm Bound so I'm not going anywhere."

Magius nods, with the ghost of a smile.

"Thank you. I will consider it."

In truth he wont, for he knows she is unreachable for now. But he will remmeber.
