Clary was curious about Peter and what he could do. And she needed something to take her mind off of worrying. They were trapped now in this strange town, but at least it was something different from the ship. Clary knew it would be temporary, it always was. But she was still happy for the stop. She hadn't seen Isabelle around since they'd gotten here and she was sure the other girl must be out shopping somewhere. Did they even have good options for that here? If they did, Isabelle was sure to find them.
She had decided to meet with him, without clearing it with Jace or anyone else. Though she was still new to being a shadowhunter, she felt like she could handle herself if trouble did arise. As long as it wasn't Valentine or something. But she didn't think Peter seemed like a Downworlder and she was interested in meeting him to see what he could do. Plus Clary making a new friend wouldn't be bad, and there was something about Peter that seemed to remind her of Simon.
She spotted him sitting at the counter, when she opened the door and walked into the diner. The aroma of fresh pies filled the air, and Clary was half tempted to have a seat and get a slice. But today was not about sampling the pie, so she refrained. She took the stool next to Peter and smiled. "Hi, you're Peter, right? I'm Clary."
