I somehow missed the notif on this- sorry.
Alec pursed his lips slightly at her remark about him finding Magnus annoying. "Okay, well, yes...but Mark uses a lot less glitter." A lame defense, but it was what he was going with. A few months ago he wouldn't have been this open. Mark had kept at him until he started talking and, well, now? Alec knew it was a Hell of a lot easier to just talk then have someone keep annoying you until you did. Besides, he trusted his sister. They had been through a lot together already and she deserved to have the truth from him.
He blinked slowly and gave his sister a surprised look. One Izzy was Team Magnus Cheerleader, but this one actually seemed to understand. He raised an eyebrow at her before picking up a container of food as well. The smell of food kind of overpowered him for a moment and he wasted no time opening up the container. He shoveled a large mouthful of food into his mouth and chewed thoughtfully.
"He..." He cleared his throat before stabbing his chopsticks into his food as he let out a sigh. "Iz, I was a wreck. It was bad. I even let Clary hug me because I was so messed up. I don't get why Magnus did what he did and why he is doing what he is doing now...I have a hard enough with stuff- emotions- whatever, without dealing with all of this. Life was easier when I just killed demons."
