[ The feed starts with a pretty shaky view of the fountain before it lifts to take in the girl. She pushes damp red hair out of her face and frowns at the device in her hands like the way it's blinking at her will magically reveal all. It's cold, and Clary's soaked, and she's not sure how she got here only she'd really like to get back to Idris straight away, thank you very much.

Feeling stupid, she worries her cuticle and then goes back to peering at the device. Her stele isn't in the fountain and it makes something worried and upset twist in her stomach. Can she call a portal without it? Is that even possible? But she can't just sit here and catch hypothermia - she has to do something. ]

Hello? Is this thing on? [ It's recording, she gets that. But to who. And to where. She wishes Jace were with her. At least then she'd have someone who knew what they were doing in a crisis. ] I think I've found someone's cell. If they could come and collect it that would be awesome.

[ Quietly. ] And then maybe you could tell me how to get home too? That sounds like a good trade, right? [ Tilting the device sideways as water slides out of it. ] It was totally wet before I got here.

Cool, I'll catch you in a bit.

[He gives a final grin before the screen goes blank. It's only a few minutes later though when he arrives at the fountain, jogging over with a smile. He isn't short of breath despite getting there so quickly so he must have been close. As he draws near he offers her the leather jacket slung over his arm]

Hey, sorry I didn't think how cold it was out, should've brought this sooner.

[steleheart]

Thanks.

[ It's a nice jacket and a total relief to just slide it on and get some heat into her. ] I'm really grateful.

[accidentalfugitive]

[Nice? That jacket is the coolest thing ever thank you]

It's no problem, there's really only so many times I can go for a run before I'm bored out of my mind.

[steleheart]

Not much to do here?

[accidentalfugitive]

Well, there's a fair bit, but honestly I'm a little wary about a lot of it. Everything here's a bit... off.

[steleheart]

Off how?

[accidentalfugitive]

I'm probably a bit paranoid, I mean, I don't think any of the bad stuff here is subtle enough to justify creeping feelings but I still get them.

[steleheart]

Well, I know it's important to trust your gut.

[accidentalfugitive]

That's the argument I'm going with if anyone just thinks I've whimped out.

Have you seen anyone you know since you arrived?

[steleheart]

No, just me.

[ She shouldn't be upset by that, but she is. ]
