They sit in silence for a long, agonising minute before Alec asks him again, his voice hitching mid-word.

“Easy,” Azazel said, his voice dripping with amusement. “I come in peace.” Azazel stared at Alec for a few moments, tilting his head curiously. “You know, he’s cute, for a Nephilim,” he said. “Not bad, Magnus.”
“You did this to me,” Valentine said, pressing his body close to the glass.
“A form of torture,” Azazel said as he folded his hands behind his back and took a step forward. “Not for you, for Valentine Morgenstern. He couldn’t stand being in a warlock’s body, and for it he gave up the Mortal Cup.”
Alec stared between the two of them as his eyes began to burn. Valentine spoke again, “That was your plan?”
