“how astonishing,” he whispered, a glass in hand. the curtain had shield his body from the sunlight, casting a shadow of darkness in the room. aleksander despised traveling throughout the day, though a special calling tugged at his stomach that evening. “the warlock made the portal, convent way to travel when you cannot go into sunlight.” he stated as he placed his hand against the top of the couch, fingers curling in as eyes examined the room. “now tell me, what do our little shadowhunters have in store for us, downworlders? we have been accused to killing innocences, though i smell no man pure of heart in my mist. blood for blood, is that not the saying?”

“It’s clearly a product of paranoia more than anything. Not to victim-blame,” pronounced Felix pointedly, “but this whole... tracker thing could have been avoided if the shadowhunters were simply more careful not to get killed, don’t you think?” He sighed, knowing that such words were certainly oversimplifying the issue but still embittered enough to voice them anyway. “But ah, what’s a little invasion-of-privacy, a little pointed-show-of-power, after all?”

BORED— that was certainly one word to describe how teegan currently felt. while the shadowhunter was always happy to oblige to any given tasks or missions, on the warm summers night she wished that maybe she’d have gotten herself into something a little more interesting than patrol duty. almost envious of the group whom were sent to scope out a suspicious sighting in an apparently abandoned building. albeit, a branch breaking a short distance behind her rings so clearly in her eardrums— nimble fingers already curling around the head of the knives either side of her thigh holsters; runes littered against them already beginning to glow. swift movements warrant the female to turn on her heel, already pointing one of her blades in the direction she’d heard the echoing noise from. “who goes there?”

“ it’s been dreadfully quiet around here as of late, don’t you think? ” eidothea mused to the soul sat beside her, having ventured away from her court for a rare moment away. “ i’ve yet to decide if this bodes well for the city or if this is merely the calm before the storm. ”

Annoyed with how crowded the institute was with busybodies and people trying to prove they outrank one another, Rowan had slipped out the first chance she’d gotten. She’d already had the most obnoxious encounter with her mother, who was stopping by to help the enclave enforce the tracking law before heading back off to go be the badass, hyped-up shadowhunter goddess that everyone fawned over. Not before, of course, giving her daughter grief about her needing to take things more seriously and stop galavanting off with downworlders. As Rowan made her way to central park in a secluded wooded area she liked, she felt her annoyance ebb away. Weapons and stele still concealed beneath her clothes, she laid down on the grass and looked up at the sky, but paused as she heard a rustle. Reaching around her waist quick as a flash, she grabbed a throwing star, chucking it at whoever was there, intentionally missing them and grazing the air right next to their head as a warning before the dagger rooted itself in the tree behind them. “ Can I help you? ” Rowan asked sweetly though coupled with her, actings it came off as sassy.

The meeting had come to a close and the Shadowhunter was the first to quickly dismiss himself. Slipping away in silence, Lorcas shuffled through the hall until exiting the institute. He had not thought much besides seeing his brother. There was a lot to be discussed, especially the pending danger which the young boy was in. Pushing the thought aside, Lorcas shifted through the streets, distancing himself further and further from all conformity. There was little wrong in these meetings as they had a right to speak with a Downworlder if so pleased. Though some had openly spoke against the existence of such creatures, including werewolves and the like that brought danger to humankind. Having sided with neither party, this young asset was sure to be on someone radar -- no one was quick sure what circled in his mind. “Can I help you?” He rolled his eyes softly, head twisting as he turned into the alleyway.

“-- if you are looking to forget the evening, i might be able to lend a hand. what do you say, are you tempted by the devil?”

“ you know, you really ought to be more careful with these, ” luciana remarked, shaking her head slightly as she twirled the one of the throwing knives she’d taken between her fingers. “ you never know when someone who might actually want to hurt you with them is gonna come up and try that exact same thing. you’re lucky it was just me.  ”

to say that teddy was more of the sort that usually kept to himself would have been an understatement, not really shying from the comfort of his own spot, especially when at a bar. but, well, when there was someone who caught his eye, there was only so much the dark haired male could really do. with fingers curled tightly around his own drink, teddy finished the jack and coke off and made his way to the bar, sliding into the empty seat. “ hi, i’m teddy, ” he introduced, a smirk playing across his lips. “ can i buy you a drink? ”
