Magnus isn't going to pretend Alec's apparent concept of tea-making doesn't wound his soul deeply.
"Remind me to educate you on the finer points of tea preparation when we get out of here."
Yes, when. He's trying to think positively here because he does want to wake up with his head pillowed on Alec's nice chest and not pressed into a scratchy, stale-smelling cushion covered in cat hair. Some luxuries and indulgences he's missed more than others, and Alec's body is on the very top of that list.
Focus, Magnus.
With an ardent flick of his wrist, the cabinets and cupboards Alec hasn't already ransacked come open, and while there are plenty of dishes stored within, he's not finding any tea leaves or tea bags. He really wishes the two of them hadn't lost track of that chef.
As he continues to pick through the small kitchen, he finally answers Alec– "In Serthica? Probably over two months at this point. Touching on three. Everything has been a bit hazy due to occasionally being dragged into situations like the one we're in, so you'll have to forgive me if I've lost track." Besides, what is time to a warlock? "I assume you didn't even notice me gone. I was told by others who had ventured to and from their worlds that several months of absence basically amount to a nanosecond in our own homeworld, so I definitely don't blame you for not noticing."
