Something about the honesty in his words made her smile. He didn't lie and say everything was okay. The entire situation could never be defined as okay. He'd gone through hell there no matter how much she tried to stop it. And now hell was on their heels. Stopping here to hide didn't really fall into the category of 'safe', but they must.
Yet, he'd try. He'd try to keep them safe even when he had little left to give. That something in Alec that had caught her attention as fast as the dark blue eyes and the raven colored hair. Strength and will, beauty and elegance... but kind and something like timidity lie inside. And the idea of Sebastian breaking that...
Shaking the thought off, she let herself sleep, deep and silent until the energy built back up in her blood and body. That's when dreams begin to seep in. Somewhere in the night, her arms had moved to wrap around him. Something odd for her as she never reached for anyone. Not when the only one to get her 'in bed' was the one person she despised most. The person that invaded her dreams now with cities dripping in blood.
But for all he did to her against her will in reality and dreams, the thing that finally jolted her out of her sleep were images of him forcing himself on Alec. A sharp gasp disrupted the even breaths and her eyes flew open. The glittering gold quality came back to the irises as the slit pupils adjusted to the low light in the room. Fingers curls sharply into the material under them... which was tattered remains of a shirt against warm skin that wasn't her own.
Focusing on the person holding her, the memories flooded back and she exhaled softly in relief. Releasing his shirt, she moved one hand up to lightly touch his chin with her fingertips. Magnus didn't believe in love... but her heart told her he was someone she could love. But it would never happen. She wasn't his type. For so many reasons other than that one.
"Alec?" Voice soft and cracked, she smoothed her fingers along his jaw.
