Well, of course there were. I'm not blind or stupid, or blind, did I mention blind? If they couldn't even get that one tiny, easy detail right, there's no way they were going to be able to handle the rest.
Of course it's your story. It isn't all about me all the time. [ She doesn't like the idea that it's supposed to be entirely her-centric. ] And you're a pretty big part of my story, anyway. You pretty much raised me, with mom. So I don't buy that for a second.
[ She snorts rather ungracefully, fidgeting with the hems of her sleeves. ] Or a different story entirely.
Not when it's completely off-base humility. Maybe if it were well-placed, I'd let you get away with it. [ Clary leans into the shoulder squeeze, deciding to trade it for a full-on hug. ]
Hopefully. Did they really have to play all that cheesy music when Jace kissed me? It was bad. They took one of the most important moments of my entire life and turned it into a Nora Roberts novel.
Twilight. [ Clary says this with absolute disgust on her tongue. ] Our story is nothing like that. I so don't sit around for months pining for a creepy too-old boyfriend.
Who, our Clarissa Fray? Not in a million years. [ He chuckles. There's a fondness to his eyes when he looks at her, as if he's simply pleased to see her. ]
Please, let's avoid calling me Clarissa. Sounds too much like him. [ That guy who was supposed to be her dad but was actually a ragecage hodgepodge of every bad movie villain ever. ]
Right. I'll have no problem remembering that. [ Just when you thought he couldn't get any worse, there was actual bad movie villain Valentine. Makes Luke's head hurt like no other. ]
And now, for the important question: how have you been?
soooo we should be friends. and i should tenderly enable you. c:
Not that you didn't call me by my name before he ever came on the scene, just... It's one of those freshly raw wounds. [ And just to show that she bears no ill will, she will hug Luke. Because hugging Luke is a good thing, and a thing she doesn't get to do enough knocking around Anatole and this headspace. ]
Good! I've been good. Or, more accurately, okay. Simon and Jace and Izzy and Alec and Magnus are all in the same place with me, and even though um... Things are tense... [ How does she put 'Sebastian is there' lightly? ] And the city isn't exactly safe all the time, it's nice that everyone's in the same place. I miss you, and I miss Mom. The family tie I've got in Anatole isn't exactly the sunshiney variety.
Well, considering it is your name — but I understand. No 'C' word. [ He holds up those three sacred fingers. ] Scouts' Honor.
Anatole? [ You don't, Clary. You just don't. ] It's good to hear you're in decent company, at least. I've been told there's all manner of horrors out there in the big, bad — is it Games? Interesting choice of words.
OMG REALLY??? 8D come to scorched pleeeease we have a big cast but no grownups 8D
You're the best. [ She means it. He is her FAAAVOOOORIIIITE dad ever. ]
Anatole is the name of the city we're in. [ She nods, humor in her voice, despite the fact that 'game' is the farthest thing from what's actually happening to any of them. ] Decent company aside from my brother, you mean.

That — film, however, was something else entirely, I think. Your story from someone else's viewpoint.

You're right — that was awful. It was all a bit too, uh, what's that new one with the vampires and the sad excuses for werewolves?

Hiiiiiiiii.... :D
I would so love even more people to attack me without provocation.
sorry you now have a hoard of players trying to enable you :D
And just for future reference, I'm more than decent company. I'm the life of the party.
