Anything would be better than facing an unknown foe nearly weaponless and certainly powerless. He wishes a lot of things. “Keep your head and don’t get cocky, Izzy. We stick together, remember?”
Isabelle nods and stares at the door, weapon hanging loosely from her hand at her side. “You and me against the world, Alec.”

He’s really, really beautiful. The kind of beautiful that makes Alec’s stomach squirm and his heart stutter. It’s not even really about his looks, though they’re certainly stunning; so much of Magnus’s beauty seems to hang in his eyes, in the personality that shines through his expressions.
