Magnus is onto her. "If you climb it, he might get distracted," he warns, as he spreads out her blanket and sits her down on it. Then he unpacks his backpack, giving her the snacks and drinks and toys he'd packed. The last thing he draws out is his practice sword. His shield, which he's been using off and on since the first practice but which is far too noticeable to secret back and forth all the time, is tucked away in a hard-to-spot, safe-from-the-elements location, and he goes to retrieve it next.
