Her ideas would get me arrested!
[ For public indecency. ]
I mean, I get that. New York summers can make a person do some crazy stuff without adding boiling liquid to the equation. But did you literally just fling everything from you? Your shirt was the other side of the room.

Considering we're already talking about vigilantism...
[ Clary, you can make yourself invisible to mundanes. ]
Did I? [ Bit of a pause here. ] I don't have any explanation for that. I promise it was not done in a fit of passion.
[ That came later, once he was safely at home with Alec. And also sans half his outfit. ]

[ Listen, sometimes she has a small panic about being semi-naked. We can't all be glorious and prone to making people swoon. ]
I found a necklace in the plant pot ...
[ This is ridiculous. She really hopes nobody finds her on her hands and knees with a man's shirt ... ]
You said this was a protection spell?

[ Nor should we be! Everyone's different and some people don't like showing off a lot of skin. Even extremely confident people can have that preference. See: Magnus Bane. Who stays covered up 90% of the time and when he does show some skin, it's because he's rolling up his sleeves to do some work. Or his shirt is mysteriously not buttoned, but never mind that. ]
Are you sure it's mine? Who knows what young Shadowhunters get up to in the library!
[ You're a hero, Clary. And will be rewarded for your efforts. ]
Something like that. I needed to make sure I'd have an appropriate backdoor.

surely he has done something worthy of shouting today.

You underestimate yourself.
Do you really think your past was that much of a secret?
I have records of Deeds for all the lands.
I knew who you were before you knew who I was.

[ That's ... troubling.
Only a little, but enough to make him pause. Treville had known of course, but he had thought his secrecy perfect. ]
No one cared about Pinon, why should you?

It is a land estate within the borders of France.
Why wouldn't I know or care about it?

[ Which she knows. But he's still magically awesome, so she keeps expecting him to whip out booty shorts or something. This is the damage a wild imagination can inflict on a person. ]
I don't think this is Alec's style.
[ It's the style of the man he loves though. ]
To get in or to get out?

[ Ooh, no. Magnus with his cravats and his waistcoats? No, no booty shorts here. Not in public, anyway. Behind closed doors, that's anyone's guess. Also, Clary is doing rather admirably with that runaway imagination of hers.
Better still if she separates it from thoughts about what Magnus does behind closed doors. ]
You're right, necklaces don't seem to be his preference where accessories are concerned. Not very practical in combat.
[ Magnus, however, dresses in whatever manner and fashion he likes. ]
That depends on the situation. And how clothed I am.

[ Charles laughs, and it's a sweet sound, mischievous and playful in origin. Because Erik likes to be so cool, so collected in all things and had mostly succeeded until a certain telepath had wormed his way into his life. Now Charles knows exactly where to prod to elicit a reaction. ]
I am. Though very rarely. In fact, I'm already feeling quite guilty. [ He leans in, pressing his lips to the pale column of Erik's neck and then letting them drift higher to the lobe of his ear. His teeth tease there, just lightly, before his words come. ]
What if I made it up to you, hmm? [ Running his fingers through Erik's hair. ] We shan't be disturbed. And I'd quite like to get my mouth on you darling, so we'd both be happy.

Not to me personally.
Should France fall into war, it could become very important.
[He's said it before: he's a practical man.]

[ Rafa's smile is a touch effacing. ]
You do not know what I am used to. I have seen places more austere than this. And I have not always been a King, William.
[ He leans back. Beneath the table, he moves his foot against William's, nudging it. ]
Once, I was nothing at all. Things work differently in my country. I wanted to see the truth of this place, what the towns were like. What the people were like. I dislike being closed behind stone walls.
I do not know how you bear that all the time.
