He loved Eularia with all of his heart. The fact that they were proceeding with this madness was surely evidence of that. That's what this was - absolute insanity. And, no matter how many assurances she offered, he knew that the line "nothing bad will happen" was complete and utter bullshit. Especially after what happened at the Festival.
But Magnus loved her...and that meant that despite all the warning bells going off in his mind, he would trust her enough to follow her lead. These were her children, after all. When it came down to it, his job was to support her...not second guess her on things like this. So, when she told him that it was going to be fine, he reluctantly admitted that was a possibility (unlikely, but possible).
When the children started arriving, Magnus seemed to be quiet. It was the moment when everything shifted into motion, plans crystalized into action and necessity. It was too late to turn back now.
And...he wanted this. He wanted them to know he loved her. He wanted them to know about Peanut. He wasn't ashamed of their love. He just loathed the idea of her being hurt because they couldn't set aside the things they wanted long enough to see what she needed.
But there were no easy roads...at least not ones that were worth traveling. She was worth weathering whatever storms would come.
