sorry magnus, but but...i had to pass school.

[magikalmr_magnus]

Ah-ha!

So, you do only come to me when you are procrastinating! You moved home 6 months ago and 90% of your possessions are still in storage- though I must say, your room finally has 'some' finesse to it. But really, travel themed is rather over done. You should try a futuristic tokyo twist on it- oh I like the sound of that. Maybe I should redo my living room...............

......Once I get rid of the take out boxes.......But I do think Chairman Meow has gotten attached to the boxes.


-Magnus Bane.

p.s. Go read the book, I refuse to tell you anything. At least that crafty woman has one thing right, what was her name- River? Ah yes, the one spit of lovely company you managed to obtain here. I really must meet this 'Doctor' at some point.

[alec_lightwood]

I hope you're not letting him eat that stuff. It's not good for him.

[gabriellightwood]

Magnus Bane... So I've been hearing that you're the one who destroys the Lightwood family line.

[tessie]

Chairman Meow? [Trying not to laugh.]

[magikalmr_magnus]

Oh why not? Nothing I can't cure right?! I've got time....

[magikalmr_magnus]

Ah! Tessa- yes yes, my cat. Sadly you two have not had the pleasure of meeting...he is quite loveable I assure you.

[magikalmr_magnus]

You might have to be a bit more specific by enlightening me onto what your definition of 'destroy'is. I found that my influence has only ever been....'prolific' in a certain sense, towards any shadowhunter family.... or....plain shadowhunter- and I certainly don't recall the Lightwoods ceasing to exist, or find themselves into too much of shambles to function normally.

[Smug grin, he thinks he knows what you mean- but Magnus is going to play with words here rather than let himself jump the gun.]

[gabriellightwood]

I mean, specifically, I had a conversation with Alec Lightwood.

[magikalmr_magnus]

Oh.....

[Magnus just pursed his lips, pressed his fingers together and fell utterly silent]


[only for a moment]

I see...I'm not sure that would still constitute the use of the word 'destroy'.

[gabriellightwood]

It's an appropriate word if he does not have any children.

[magikalmr_magnus]

Well then he would be the one to apply that word too, since he is as free to have children as he pleases. It's of no concern of mine.

[Yes- still bitter. Excuse him while he attempts to be pleasant and fails miserably.]

[gabriellightwood]

It is if you're.... [He struggles with the word.] ...... dating.

[magikalmr_magnus]

[Magnus is amused with Gabriel's attempt at modern slang, so the smile is evident...but Magnus still needs to correct him.]

We were 'courting' and now we are not. Therefore, his word.

[He will fight this stubbornly until the ship sinks or burns...or both.]

[gabriellightwood]

[He only heard it because of Alec.]

So you are now going to have nothing to do with him?

[magikalmr_magnus]

I'd prefer it that way.....

[a lie, and for once with Magnus, it was obvious. He was always clever with words, telling the truth or ...a version of it. But blatantly lying- never was a strong thing with him.]

But he does have a nasty habit of calling on me and then promptly hanging up the phone. I guess in your age it is equivalent of having a messenger send a letter and tearing it up in front of your eyes before you've the chance to open it. He's done it quite a bit recently, though....I think someone must have broken his phone, since it ceased rather abruptly. Did they have phones back when I had relations with the London branch? I, for the life of me, can't seem to remember. So many details....

[trying to change the subject...]

[gabriellightwood]

What?

[You've confused him, Magnus. He has no idea what you're talking about.]

He's sending you letters?

[magikalmr_magnus]

and tearing them up before I can read them, yes....

[beat]


.....or the futures equivalent of such a thing.

[gabriellightwood]

So he wants to continue the courtship and you don't?

[magikalmr_magnus]

[heavy sigh- so much for changing the subject]


I want to, but I can't-

And may I ask what has a fellow Lightwood, one I thought possibly ten times more conservative than your descendant, so interested in aforementioned descendents affairs?

[gabriellightwood]

[A change of subject might have worked better if it hadn't flustered him.]

Because he's a Lightwood. I have to look after my own, especially if they claim to be the last of the line that can carry our name.

[magikalmr_magnus]

In a day of invetro and birthing mothers and Alec is still claiming to be the last in the line...He has a sister- strong willed too...

[Magnus just shakes his head]

[alec_lightwood]

[The comment about time causes some of Alec's confidence to slip away, unsure if he should have even spoken to Magnus. He almost says that not all of them have time but that's a fight they've had too many times.]

Even if you can cure it that doesn't mean he should get sick.

[gabriellightwood]

Girls do not usually carry on a name, not when they marry.

[magikalmr_magnus]

Oh very well....I'll clean.....later.

[Because now he was partially doing it to spite Jace- if it wasn't Alec, it was that annoying blonde danger magnet...........and at least Alec was pretty to look at or listen to, even if it hurt. Jace just made everything hurt- and not in a good way.]

[magikalmr_magnus]

What is with you people and carrying on things? I suppose it had to be genetic too?!

[How was this his fault again? Magnus just shook his head- he was technically being sarcastic since he was he knew darn well what it meant to carry on the family name.]

[alec_lightwood]

Good. I don't want anything to happen to him.

[Or to Magnus, but he has no right to discuss that now no matter how much he wants to.]

I'm sorry that Jace has been harassing you. I didn't know he was going to see you. I would've stopped him if I'd known what he was planning.
