Once he knew that there was no one watching, Alec's thoughts turned to Magnus and his fears for her. She said it was just exhaustion, but could someone with magic die from overusing their abilities? It seemed possible. Why else would there be spells to share strength if it wasn't possible?
Or he thought there were spells like that. Alec had read of them in some of the obscure texts that his siblings never bothered with.
It was tempting to offer to share his strength with her but since he had just been healed, he didn't know what it'd do to him. One of them needed to be strong enough to fight in case Sebastian's men found them. Maybe after he'd rested for a few hours, he could offer to help her.
"We don't need the glamour." Especially if it would keep Magnus from healing. "Shadowhunters are used to having just minor magics. We'll just be careful." Anyway, Sebastian would probably be expecting them to use magic. Maybe if they didn't, it'd keep him from noticing them.
Lifting her up before Magnus could consider trying to walk, he carried her to the cottage and easing her down onto the bed. The mattress was dusty but he'd checked to make sure nothing was inside that might be an unpleasant surprise. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he looked around the small house.
"I think whoever lived here picked up whatever they needed and ran away. I doubt there's food but I can look for water." What energy he had was fading, but Magnus needed him to take care of her.
