[ A tall, blond teenage boy appears right beside the fountain, and it's a close call that he doesn't end up emerged in the water, stumbling away from it as he tries to regain his balance, somehow still as graceful as ever, and takes in his surroundings.

He thinks about removing the stele from his pocket, drawing runes upon his flesh to help him fight, but he decides against; if he looks beyond the fact he's been kidnapped, standing in the middle of a city he doesn't recognise, he doesn't sense any threat here. And there's always the blades holstered around his waist if he needs them.

The weight in his pocket wasn't there before, isn't one he's familiar with, but before he can take whatever it is out, he's being approached by a stranger who feels the need to kiss him, and worse still, that he suddenly finds himself wanting to kiss back.

Clary, he thinks, panicked, eyes darting around in case she's here, too, lost somewhere, alone, and with who knows what waiting for her out there. I need to find Clary.

Finally pulling out the device, he switches it on, figures it out enough to get a video feed going. ]

So, does someone want to tell me what's going on? I'm not really in the mood for guessing games. And what's with all the tongue action I'm getting here? I know I'm attractive, but it's not the welcome I'd choose.

I might have some insight into what that might be like. [ In some cases more than he would like, but it doesn't make him like the idea of it any better. ] So what you're telling me, basically, is that everything that does and doesn't happen here is beyond my control. Great, I'm looking forward to it.

More or less. It's not always as bad as all that.

I'll bare that in mind and take the quiet moments where I can get them. You might not be able to tell from the surface, but I'm a brooder.

I've known my fair share of brooders, I'm sure I would've cottoned on eventually.

I was clinging to the hope of not being here long enough to let it show, but I'm starting to realise wishful thinking won't help me out of this one.

[ He openly looks around at the surroundings, a frown fleeting back across his face. ] As much as I appreciate the help, I should get a lay of the land before nightfall.

Maybe you'll be lucky.

[There's true hope in that, because she genuinely believes everyone has a chance, that not everyone will be stuck as long as her or the handful of others. She smiles at him, nods, feels that it's time to go.]

There's a map in the guide, too. If that helps.
