Dear Magus, how do I love thee?  Let me count  the top 10 ways.

10.  Quick thinking, and smacking the King of Sounis.  " 'You know, I don't think you're allowed to treat me like this,' the younger man pointed out woefully."
9.  Three words -- Fake heart attack.
8.  Magus brohugs. 
7.  The Magus takes a bath.
6.  His lopsided smile.
5.  Drumstick:  Stop staring at it.
4.  When he drops to his knees and kisses Sophos's hands.
3.  Sending Attolia to Eddis, to hold her hand.
2.  When he's supposed to fade into the trees and escape at the battle near Brimedius, but sees how distraught Sophos is over his war dead, and comes to comfort/encourage him.

And the number one reason:

1.  Pimp!Magus with an attendant on either arm.

What am I forgetting?

These are so true.

More magus moments:

Great minds think alike: "You're being a fool," said Attolia. ... On the far side of the palace, the magus had unwittingly echoed her opinion of Eugenides.

"Oh, how our carefully laid plans go astray," murmured the magus. "You shut up!" said Gen, laughing.

Ahaha! I love the magus! DELIGHTFUL post, thanks for sharing! The fake heart attack was hillarious, I was so worried about him, then it turned out that he was faking it and I laughed SO hard. Ah magus. Again, fantastic post!

Realizing that the tent was dowsed in lamp oil, and knifing through it in the nick of time!

When he bows before Sophos, and makes him go all blushy.

And I can't remember the exact wording (my copy of Conspiracy is making the rounds), when he risks the mission by climbing the hill to comfort distraught Sophos on the battlefield, and says something about his uncle never crying. I almost cried.

Ohh, yes, the bit about his uncle never crying. I almost got the impression that Sophos thought the magus was praising his uncle for never crying, but the magus was actually glad that Sophos was. Am I the only one?

No, no, I definitely agree with your interpretation. The exact line is "Your uncle," he said, "in all the years I saw him rule, never had a moment of self-doubt. Never a regret for a single life lost." (p. 216) I definitely get the impression that he's pleased with Sophos's compassion.

Precisely.

Probably my favorite line from The Thief...

GEN, YOU VIPER!!

Yours are all great, Checkers! *sigh* The Magus is just made of so much win. I hope he doesn't end up going the way of the old man mentor in most fantasy books in either of the remaining two QT stories. It would break my heart.

Hey freenarnian. I'm stealing your icon. Just saying.

I agree with all of this, and would like to add that Magus + Sophos = Hilarious Double Act. The chapters where they're travelling to Attolia are some of my favourites because they're just so funny. :)

I'll second you katyhasclogs. I never thought they could be like that.

Matched garnets the side of your thumb. lolz

I was SO worried about him too, but I was also like, "What the...? Where did this come from?" and when he was OK I laughed SO. HARD.
