Magnus looked him over and smiled a little. Either the boy didn't realize how attractive he was, or didn't think much of himself. "You have fire in you. Most of those poor people lost it ages ago. I like your fire... mostly." He teased a little.
His comment about the other man caused Magnus to raise an eyebrow. He'd been sure that Alec could've realized what that man was like. The very way he held himself hinted at it. "A man who wants to use you and break you like a horse for the fun of it." Magnus wasnt going to sugar coat it for him.
"Do you always take jokes so serious? You asked why I hadnt punished you for your cheek. I made a joke." He sighed. "And I'm a warlock. As for life will be like, why not wait and see before making judgements?" He offered a small smile, trying to calm the younger man down.
