Sure I am.

[Sarcasm can be used in texts...]

Maybe talking about feelings would be easier to deal with...

[creatio]

You'd choose feelings over buying chocolate?

Who are you and what have you done to Alec Lightwood?

[angelic_archer]

I might choose it over being blackmailed.

Remember I have a sister. I know when it's best to be give her what she wants and when it's best to let her embarrass me for a few days.

[creatio]

That's cute.

Is Max the same? Or is he too sweet to be a terror? I think it's probably that.

[angelic_archer]

Max is a little con artist that uses the cute better than Jace can use a seraph blade.

[But Alec's smiling as he types in the description. His little brother might be a terror occasionally but Alec adores him.]

Be careful when he says he wants to show you the runes he learned.

I have chocolate. I have coffee. Anything else to buy a few hours of silence?

[creatio]

I already told him we could learn some runes together.

[ Because she had a late start and studying with a kid isn't so bad. ]

That'll be enough. My need for caffeine far outweighs anything else.

[angelic_archer]

He'll be good until he gets bored but before you use any runes you haven't seen before check with us.

He says that he mixes them up but I think he's taking after Jace.

[Not that Jace would have dared the stunts Max had when they were that age but some of that is too personal for Alec to share without permission. He won't tell stories about his parabatai until he's sure Jace is okay with it.]

I should be back in a few minutes.

I could help with the lessons.

[creatio]

So I should try and keep him entertained? Because I don't really want to be blamed for the resulting fire.

[ This is about as dignified as Clary and Alec get around each other and she definitely does not want to rock the boat. ]

I'd like that.

You probably know the gleam in his eye too.

[angelic_archer]

You won't be. Everyone knows that it's Max's new favorite rune.

You might want to keep a fire extinguisher nearby or a bucket of water.

[Wait... Clary wants him to train her?]

Did someone steal your phone?

Even if they're not technically related, he gets that from Jace.

[creatio]

Bucket of water I can do.

I'll make sure we're not near anything flammable.

[ HE'S GOOD. HE'S JUST ALSO SOMETIMES AN ASSHOLE. ]

No, why?

[angelic_archer]

Good luck with that. Maybe if you start talking manga with him, he'll quit being so interested in destructive runes.

Because you agreed to let me train you without being snarky or saying I want to do it so I can beat you up.

You're actually tolerating me. Most people don't.

[Yes, Alec really doesn't understand tact sometimes or being less than truthful with others if his love life isn't the subject of the conversation.]

[creatio]

You're not being an asshole right now.

And I'm tired of fighting.

[angelic_archer]

Good to know it wasn't actually an attempt at being nice to your family.

[creatio]

Did you just imply we were *family*?

[angelic_archer]

Even if my parents hadn't adopted Jace, we'd be family because I'm Jace's parabatai.

His people are my people so his family is mine.

[creatio]

[ Stop reminding her of her accidentally incestuous life. ]

That's sweet.

[ And really unfortunate. ]

[angelic_archer]

[His life has been accidentally incestuous for years. Eventually Clary will get used to it.]

Sweet but you're still going to hate me.

[It's not like Alec knows how to be tactful, especially to 'family'.]

[creatio]

I don't hate you.

[angelic_archer]

It's okay.

You can pretend to like me for Jace's sake. I won't tell him the truth.

[creatio]

Alec, I like you.

I was just really stressed when we met so we didn't get off on the right foot.
