on enabling to exitvoid, come on guys you know you want to.

[cupio]

Alec and Sebastian.

[ A quiet pause. ] I give the place two hours tops. [ She's not happy about the latter possibility, but having Alec is already helping in it's own way. ] You know, you could work your magic in other ways too. Simon, Luke, my mom. [ ... Jace, Clary? ]

Shut up.

Comments

[sturmhond]

[ Don't mind him he's only here to give her a hard time again. ]

You have such interesting friends, Clary. It will be such a pleasure to meet them.

[cupio]

Oh yeah, one's going to train me to death and the other would be pretty willing to kill me outright. We're going to have so much fun.

[ Twitchy face, she's going to smack someone. ]

[sturmhond]

Well, you know how I feel about powerful enemies. That shouldn't be a problem.

As for the trainer, that's all well and good, but do t think it gets you out if your lessons with me, lovely.

[cupio]

[ She pulls such a face it is like she's five and he's her big brother tbh. ]

No. Jesus. I am not a robot and I do not have infinite time and I won't be running round the campus with Alec to come to you and then wave a sword. I need to sleep. And ninety percent of the time we don't train we just go and find something to poke at with sticks. I'm already exhausted thinking about it.

omg where did that n go i will never phone tag again

[sturmhond]

Well, if your feedback is that I'm not putting you through your paces enough, there's certainly something we can do about that.

[ Why would you encourage him, Clary. Why. ]

always phone tag me.

[cupio]

That is not what I said at all, oh my god.

no terrible things happen

[sturmhond]

I was reading between the lines. I'm good at that.

i do want to, tbh kgafhkad

[tutelare]

[ well.

you did ask. sort of? ]

Clary?

adhfjfkdls i would straight up take over the world just for this.

[cupio]

Mom?

[ Her chest goes tight, painful. She hasn't seen her mom since she got plucked from her world and it's --. Well. ]

I didn't actually think that would get your attention.

afhsjk;;you might not need to i enable too easily! i'm still canon reviewing so bare with me :c

[tutelare]

And yet, here you have it. [ the smile she's giving is a small one.

perhaps it's an incredibly mom thing, and much less a shadowhunter thing to do when she wants to reach out to clary, brush a strand of hair away.

or hold her and tell her how sorry she is. tell her - tell her so much.

finally, she is reaching her hand out towards clary, fully expecting her daughter to pull away (a part of her knew she didn't deserve much else). ]

even when i get super sick and don't tag for days?

[cupio]

[ Except she doesn't pull away.

No Clary moves suddenly, flinging herself at her mother and wrapping her arms around her, her face buried in her shoulder. ] Mom.

I've missed you so much, I've missed you. [ Excuse her, it's six year old clinging time. ]

omg that doesn't matter <3 i do hope you're getting better though c:

[tutelare]

[ it comes after a heartbeat of surprise, before jocelyn is circling her arms around clary, drawing her closer and she's suddenly clinging back, unsure if she wants to let go of her girl - that single most important person - and when she speaks, her voice is subtly muffled against clary's hair. ] I know -

I'm so sorry. [ that doesn't feel as though it'll be enough but. ] I'll be there, Clary. I promise, I'll be there.

i am /cuddles you

[cupio]

I don't want them to hurt you.

[ Because that's what getting her mom would mean. That COMPASS could take her from her, use her. She can't imagine a woman like Jocelyn Fray ever letting others be hurt when she could make a stand. No, she's like Clary. She'd fight. ]

Mom, Zelien is dangerous. [ She leans back, looks at her face. She wishes she'd spent more time just hanging out with her mom, learning to understand her. She didn't know how much she needed her until she was gone. ]

GOOD i'm glad to hear it !!

[tutelare]

They won't. [ oh, she'd fight, alright. she'd fight against it all, with every fiber, and she'd laugh in their face if they ever tried using her.

she arches a brow, and there's a flicker of a solemn smile. ] But you're there.

[ like that's all the reasoning she needs to give; her girl, brave and strong and who had made her so proud was there, and she needs to be there too. as mother and shadowhunter both. ] I'd left you alone for far too long of time already. I can't do that again.

Especially not in a place like that. [ mama shadowhunter instincts are bristling! ]

[rainbowpants]

Should I be somewhat offended I was omitted from your list?

[cupio]

I've already got one sex pirate in a funny coat.

[ Magnus, Magnus dear heart. Come with her. Hang out with Nikolai and see what magic you can make. ] I think having you both would make my brain explode.

[rainbowpants]

I'm a warlock, not a pirate and my coat isn't funny. It's vintage.

[ He rolls his eyes at that but there's a smile on his face all the same. He's tempted. That's for sure.]

Can't have that, now can we?

[cupio]

Sorry, sorry, vintage. [ She gives a wide-eyed slow nod because she's totally not fucking with him, honest. ]

There are monsters, just so you know. And right now nothing but creamed corn to eat. No lattes for anyone.

[rainbowpants]

Much better. [ He's just giving you a look at that. He's onto Clay. Besides, after eight hundred years everything is vintage.]

No lattes? And you're meant to be convincing me to come to this place?

[cupio]

Well now you're flirting with Sturmhond I'm seriously regretting my life choices. Maybe I'm totally into you not coming now.

[ Besides, it would piss off Alec too. Maybe they'd team up and throw things at the coat gang. ] He's probably got scurvy. [ He hasn't. ] Maybe syphilis. [ Also not that. ]

[rainbowpants]

I have a weakness for men with strong jawlines and a sense of flair. What can I say? Just like that, I'm hurt.

[ He's not. Though he'd agree that it would piss off Alec. Which, whould be the real shame. ] You're really intent on that whole pirate thing, a'nt you? [ Because what's next? A monkey?]

Syphilis? Come now..

I'm sorry I can't help it.

[sturmhond]

I'm not a pirate, either. It's amazing how difficult it is to get that message across. I'm beginning to suspect she's hard of hearing.

As for your coat, I think it's very becoming. Don't let her put you off.

[rainbowpants]

I suspect it was a family thing, her mother so rarely listen either.

[ There's a little flick of his eyebrow at the others words, a sly smirk appearing on his face.]

Why, a compliment from a handsome fellow always makes things much better.

[sturmhond]

[ Oh, this will annoy Clary to no end. Let's just continue that theme, shall we. ]

From one to another, I should say. You know, she doesn't talk about you nearly enough. You'll have to come along and introduce yourself, it seems wrong to keep us apart.

[rainbowpants]

I very much doubt I'm on her mind all that much. I'm simply there when they need some magic after all.

[ There's a roll of his shoulders at that. It's not exactly like they were having sleep overs all that much.]

Doesn't it just? Just a terrible crime.
