"It won't be the first time I had a date to plan a date. At least I won't have to sneak out to do it." Alec wasn't sure if Jace knew about that. He'd been busy with Clary, which had helped give Alec a chance to get out of the Institute without his parabatai fretting over his injuries.
He had the feeling that Jace was amused by all this. He was probably going to tease Alec constantly about it. If everything had been normal when he'd met Magnus, would Jace have done the same thing? He almost wished that they'd had the chance to have those jokes and mock-glares flying between them. At least they'd have it this time.
"The family who matter is here." He wasn't sure why he had to say that. Maybe because he knew how Sebastian's father treated him. It made him selfishly grateful that Robert hadn't arrived at the Library but he doubted that his father would ever leave Idris again. "Wanting to spend time with them doesn't mean I don't want to spend time with you. Maybe if you're around Jace will take pity on me and won't kick my ass when we're training."
