someday . maybe sooner than they both realize .

" good . i'll hold you to that promise ."

" and i am glad you are mine , nyx ."

she barely manages to keep herself from reaching out to touch her .

" keep working on it , alright ?"

" that's right ."

clary pulls her attention from the rabbit , smiling at nyx instead .

" you have plenty of people that want to support you in your journey , nyx . plenty of people that care about you ."

[ it's hardly any time at all before solus begins to purr .]
[ clary can't help but tilt her head a little and smile .]

i guess we can .

person .

except . . . that is simultaneously entirely out of the question . she's so close . to stop now would be to give up everything thus far .

" i suppose the first thing to do would be figure out where i am ."

obviously she can't go home if she can't figure out that direction .

the question pulls her attention back to the other man , and then she shrugs lightly .

" i . . . really am not sure , in all honesty ."

the easiest solution would be to simply give up . forget about the research that she's spent so much time tracking down , and 𝘵𝘳𝘺 to go back to being a normal

uses her abilities , but she can help her figure it out . can help her understand herself where possible .

she deserves to be in control of things . not her powers .

clary looks down at the little creature , her head tilting slightly as she examines it . sure , it has three eyes , but . . . from the way nyx talks , it sounds like the little thing already has an improvement .

" did you do something different while you were making it ?"

she can't know how nyx

. . . does clary need to remind him that 𝘴𝘩𝘦 did approach him ?

have you eaten? (i love you). did you get enough sleep last night? (i love you). how do you feel today? (i love you). did you have a nice day? (i love you). will you come on a walk with me? (i love you).

cold . . . alright . somewhat vague .

" can you show me right now ? try to make your bunny ."

know ," is all she responds with .

clary frowns , but otherwise turns her attention elsewhere . he's right , she just doesn't want to give him the satisfaction of agreeing with him .

except , he 𝘪𝘴 right . she 𝘪𝘴𝘯'𝘵 good at this sort of thing , and all she ever really does is put herself in unnecessary danger .

" i still need to

" i look forward to it . truly ."

she loves flowers in the first place , so receiving something special like that makes her chest a little warm .

" i'm sure you will look beautiful with those , angie ."

good , good .

" what does it feel like when you use your powers ?"

" that's always a risk that's being taken ."

she considers , and then motions for nyx to sit with her .

" why don't we practice here ?"

she watches her for a moment , and then offers a reassuring smile .

" you are , aren't you ? that's alright , it makes sense ."

clary thinks for a few long moments , frowning a little as she goes over what she knows .

" . . . are you scared of your powers , sweetheart ?"

maybe a personal question that she most certainly does not have to answer , but it's one she'll ask anyways .

" . . . have you tried practicing ?"

sounds like you certainly ate something .

[ pausing .]

WHY .

/ / he's busy i had to step up .

. . . you should definitely visit with a doctor about that .

/ / I HAD TO MAKE THAT MYSELF .

you are a terrible liar . do you know that ?

/ / except leon fell for this .
