"You stopped him when it mattered." He didn't have any illusions of what Sebastian might have done if Magnus hadn't stopped him. There probably wouldn't have been enough of him left for Magnus to heal if Sebastian hadn't been stopped. His rage over Alec being Jace's parabatai would have driven him to eventually killing him. "Thank you for protect me from all of them."

"You're not cursed." Having magic didn't make someone a monster. There was more to it than that. The choices a person made were just as important. "You were loyal to someone who was your family. You can't be blamed for what either one of them did and you did the right thing when you had to."

The others might not see it that way, but Alec knew that Magnus wasn't evil. If she was, she would have tormented him while he was helpless or enjoyed watching Sebastian torture him.

Glancing down at his tattered shirt, he began to protest that she didn't need to waste her energy on him, but she began fixing his clothes before he could speak. Magic tingled along his skin, slightly unnerving, but not painful.

Part of him went still when she described her abilities and he couldn't help wondering what he could do to help her once she was rested. Then, he shook off his doubts. He'd had the same thoughts when he'd become Jace's parabatai but he'd still managed to be useful. Alec could watch her back and protect her like he did Jace.

"Sebastian isn't going to happy about what you did. He's going to come after us both. I might not be the best Shadowhunter, but I can help protect you." He knew that was true... He wasn't the best. So her compliment made him flush slightly. "I'm not angelic. And there are some who don't believe I should be a nephilim. But I'm glad we met."
