Watching Jace hug Isabelle, she tried to school her features into a happy and loving expression.Are you all right? Simon asked, with some concern. Your eyes are crossing.
Then you're aping him. Valentine was one of the most arrogant and disrespectful men I've ever met. I suppose he brought you up to be just like him.Yes, Jace said, unable to help himself, I was trained...
The world is terrible, said Mark tonelessly. And some are drawn down into it and drown there, and some rise above and carry others with them.
The nod means 'I am a badass, and I recognise that you too, are a badass.
That seems like stealing, doesn't it? Simon pulled a cup toward him. He drew the lid back. Ooh. Mochaccino. He looked at Magnus. Did you pay for these?Sure, said Magnus, while Jace and Alec snickered....
Right, because I'm flat-chested a midget.
Maybe that was why she couldn't cry, she realized, staring dry-eyed at the ceiling. Because what was the point in crying when there was no one there to comfort you? And what was worse, when you couldn...
Lawful good to lawful evil! said Simon, pleased.He's quoting Dungeons and Dragons, said Clary. Ignore him.
Jem--Jem is all the better part of myself. I would not expect you to understand. I owe him this.Then what am I? Cecily asked.Will exhaled, too exasperated to check himself. You are my weakness.And Tes...
James Carstairs! Jem! Where are you, you disloyal bastard?
Is this the part where you say if I hurt her, you'll kill me?No Simon said, If you hurt Clary she's quite capable of killing you herself. Possibly with a variety of weapons.
I've never minded it, he went on. Being lost, that is. I had always thought one could not truly be lost if one knew one's own heart. But I fear I may be lost without knowing yours.
Hey, pretty thing, he said. What's in the bag?Holy water, said Jace, reappearing beside her as if he'd been conjured up like a genie. A sarcastic blond genie with a bad attitude.Oooh, a Shadowhunter,...
He grinned, and the grin changed his face completely. Ty when he was still and expressionless had an intensity that fascinated Kit; when he was smiling, he was extraordinary.
But Clary never found out what it wasn't, because there was a cry of Jace! and Alec appeared, breathless from pushing his way through the crowd to get them. His dark hair was a mess and there was bloo...
Are you in fashion? You look like you're in fashion.No, [Magnus] said. I am fashion.
Heroes endure because we need them. Not for their own sake.
Sometimes our lives can change so fast that the change outpaces our minds and hearts.
If there's a thing I've learned in my life it's to not be afraid of the responsibility that comes with caring for other people. What we do for love: those things endure. Even if the people you do them...
You're so easy to tease. And yes, your friend is just fine. Well, except that he keeps putting all my things away and trying to clean up. Now I can't find anything. He's compulsive.
