He Made A Sound Like A Choked Laughed Before He Reached Out And Pulled Her Into Her Arms. She Was Aware Of Luke Watching Them From The Window, But She Shut Her Eyes Resolutely And Buried Her Face Against Jace's Shoulder.

If I Get Work Done Early, I Can Do Some Interacting With Fans Online, Or See My Friends. If I Don't Get That Work Done, You May Not See Much Of Me!

Green-eyed Monsters,” Said Magnus, And Grinned. He Deposited Chairman Meow On The Ground, And The Cat Moved Over To Alec, And Rubbed Against His Leg. “the Chairman Likes You.” “is That Good?” “i Never Date Anyone My Cat Doesn’t Like,” Magnus Said Easily, And Stood Up. “so Let’s Say Friday Night?” A Great Wave Of Relief Came Over Alec. “really? You Want To Go Out With Me?” Magnus Shook His Head. “you Have To Stop Playing Hard To Get, Alexander. It Makes Things Difficult.” He Grinned.

Clary Felt Suddenly Annoyed. "when The Self-congratulatory Part Of The Evening Is Over, Maybe We Could Get Back To Saving My Best Friend From Being Exsanguinated To Death?" "exsanguinated," Said Jace, Impressed. "that's A Big Word." "and You're A Big-" "tsk Tsk," He Interupted. "no Swearing In Church.

"i Assumed His Idea Of A Date Would Be Making You Watch Him Play World Of Warcraft With His Nerd Friends." "i," Clary Pointed Out, "am One Of His Nerd Friends, Thank You.

This Was Jace Being Brave. Simon Thought, Brave And Snarky Because He Thought Lilith Was Going To Kill Him, And That Was The Way He Wanted To Go, Unafraid And On His Feet. Like A Warrior. The Way Shadowhunters Did. His Death Song Would Always Be This-jokes And Snideness And Pretend Arrogance, And That Look In His Eyes That Said 'i'm Better Than You'. Simon Just Hadn't Realized It Before.

I Decided It Was Well Past Time To Take Him Home And Place Him In Bosom Of His Family. If You Had Rather I Put Him In An Orphanage, I Fully Understand.

I Can't Believe He Took You To An Actual Resteraunt. I Assumed His Idea Od A Date Would Be Making You Watch Him Play World Of Warcraft With His Nerd Friends.

We May Not Be All That Bright, Jace Said, But At Least We Are Alive.

I Always Thought Love Made You Stupid. Made You Weak. A Bad Shadowhunter. 'to Love Is To Destroy.'i Believed That[...]i Used To Think Being A Good Warrior Meant Not Caring,[...] And Then I Met You.

Ragnor Looked Very Regretful About All The Choices That Had Led Him To His Being In This Place And Especially In This Company

[will Herondale] Would Say He Knew A Warlock Who Was A Better Friend, And More Worth Trusting, Than Many A Nephilim Warrior.

In Will's Experience, When Someone Who Ought To Be Afraid Wasn't, The Reason Was Rarely Bravery. Usually It Meant That They Knew Something You Didn't.

She's Alive," Thomas Said, Not Opening His Eyes. "what?" Will Was Caught Off Guard. "the One You Come Back For. Her. Tessa. She's With Sophie.

What Do You Think It Would Have Been Like If Valentine Had Brought You Up Along With Me? Would You Have Loved Me?" Clary Was Very Glad She Had Put Her Cup Down, Because If She Hadn't, She Would Have Dropped It. Sebastian Was Looking At Her Not With Any Shyness Or The Sort Of Natural Awkwardness That Might Be Attendant On Such A Bizarre Question, But As If She Were A Curious, Foreign Life-form. "well," She Said. "you're My Brother. I Would Have Loved You. I Would Have...had To.

I Told You Before, Jem, That You Would Not Leave Me. And You Are Still With Me. When I Breathe, I Will Think Of You, For Without You I Would Have Been Dead Years Ago. When I Wake Up And When I Sleep, When I Lift Up My Hands To Defend Myself Or When I Lie Down To Die, You Will Be With Me. You Say We Are Born And Born Again. I Say There Is A River That Divides The Dead And The Living. What I Do Know Is That If We Are Born Again, I Will Meet You In Another Life, And If There Is A River, You Will Wait On The Shores For Me To Come To You, So That We Can Cross Together.

I Dislike Boats," Ragnor Observed, Looking Around. "i Get Vilely Seasick." The Turning Green Joke Was Too Easy. Magnus Was Not Going To Stoop To Make It.

It's My Motto," Said Isabelle, With A Sultry Smile. 'nothing Less Than Seven Inches.' Meliorn Gazed At Her Stonily. 'i'm Talking About My Heels,' She Said. " It's A Pun. You Know? A Play On-" "come," The Faerie Knight Said. "the Queen Will Be Growing Impatient." He Headed Down The Corridor Without Giving Isabelle A Second Glance. "i Forgot," Isabelle Muttered As The Rest Of Them Caught Up To Her. " Faeries Have No Sense Of Humor." "oh, I Wouldn't Say That," Said Jace. "there's A Pixie Night Club Called Hot Wings. Not," He Added," That I Have Ever Been There.

He Lifted The Violin To His Shoulder Then, And Raised The Bow. And He Played.

Beautiful Girls Should Know How To Defend Themselves Against The Advances Of Gentlemen.

A Great Sadness Welled Up In Magnus At The Sight Of Him. It Was Human To Age And Die, And Jem Stood Outside That Humanity Now, Outside The Light That Burned So Brightly And So Briefly. It Was Cold Outside That Light And Fire. No One Had Greater Cause To Know That Cold Than Magnus Did.

Magnus Shrugged. "he Also Made Inappropriate Amorous Advances To A Startled Grandmotherly Sort Selling Flowers, An Irish Wolfhound, And Innocent Hat Stand In A Dwelling He Broke Into, And Myself.

It Is Always Better To Live The Truth Than To Live A Lie. And That Lie Would Have Kept Him Alone Forever. He May Have Had Nearly Nothing For 5 Years, But Now He Can Have Everything. A Boy Who Looks Like That... Magnus.

I've Got A Stele We Can Use. Who Wants To Do Me?" "a Regrettable Choice Of Words," Muttered Magnus.

For Our Purposes You Can Consider It A Small Country Between Germany And France." "but There Isn't Anything Between Germany And France. Except Switzerland." "precisely," Said Jace.

Your Plans Are Suicidal. At Best.

You On Your Way Out?" Jace Nodded. "dont Want To Overstay Our Welcome." "what Welcome?" Magnus Asked. "i'd Say Is Was A Pleasure To Meet You, But It Wasn't. Not That You Aren't All Fairly Charming, And As For You-" He Dropped A Glittery Wink At Alec, Who Looked Astounded. "call Me?" -magnus & Jace, Pg.243-

Magnus, Standing By The Door, Snapped His Fingers Impatiently. "move It Along, Teenagers. The Only Person Who Gets To Canoodle In My Bedroom Is My Magnificent Self." "canoodle?" Repeated Clary, Never Having Heard The Word Before. "magnificent?" Repeated Jace, Who Was Just Being Nasty. Magnus Growled. The Growl Sounded Like "get Out.

He Gazed Amusedly Down The Table At Tessa. “you’re The Shape-changer, Aren’t You?” He Said. “magnus Bane Told Me About You. No Mark On You At All, They Say.” Tessa Swallowed And Looked Him Straight In The Eye. They Were Discordantly Human Eyes, Ordinary In His Extraordinary Face. “no. No Mark.” He Grinned Around His Fork. “i Do Suppose They’ve Looked Everywhere?” “i’m Sure Will’s Tried,” Said Jessamine In A Bored Tone.

I Thought Perhaps That When You Told Me You Did Not Love Me That My Own Feelings Would Fall Away And Atrophy, But They Have Not. They Have Grown Every Day. I Love You Now More Desperately, This Moment, Than I Have Ever Loved You Before, And In An Hour I Will Love You More Than That

Luke Moved As Silently As Fog, While Maryse's Heels Sounded Like Gunshots On The Marble Floor. Clary Wondered If Isabelle's Propensity For Unsuitable Footwear Was Genetic.

"theoretically The Planet Could Suddenly Crack In Half, Leaving Me On One Side And You On The Other, Forever And Tragically Parted, But I'm Not Worried About That Either.
