[ Clary's video is a little shaken like she can't quite keep her hand steady. When it trembles, it shows off more of her hiding place - the little cupboard she's wedged herself in. Her arms are covered in runes but she hasn't had time to glamour them or hide them well and they show up stark against her skin. Blood trickles weakly down her temple and her eyes are wide but her voice comes out calm. ]

This is madness, I don't know what's --. I hate boats. [ She's not going to kill anyone, she's not. She still dreams of Valentine and the way she'd torn through the hull of his ship with a thought. She could do it now, but that scares her more than the man trying to find her. She's being hunted and somewhere in the fray she's lost her weapon. She can't find her friends. It's hard enough to not panic instinctively. Now she simply breathes out and presses a hand to her head. ] Jace? Mae? Are you on board? Are you okay? Please tell me if you are and where you are. And Jem, Jem if you're here too let me know. We need to --. [ Stick together.

Clary freezes when she hears a noise outside and the camera dips to her waist as she presses her ear to the door. There's nothing for a moment before she's whispering. ] I have to go. Please be safe. Please.

( ooc: so I'm npc'ing Clary's attacker and after this video she's likely to start running again. If you'd like to run into her feel free. )

[ She grins, can't help herself. ] He sounds like Jace. He's always the one getting in the most trouble.

[silvering]

I am guessing it is you who reins him in when he goes too far.

[steleheart]

Well, I try. [ Brightening. ] But mostly that's Alec. [ A pause. ] Although now he's with Magnus I guess he might have other things on his mind.

[silvering]

Magnus? [Jem says the name carefully]

Is that any relation to Magnus Bane?

[steleheart]

Yes!

[ She grins. ] Wow, is he that old?

[silvering]

He is at least that old. I do nor believe we ever got a straight answer out of him on his age.

[Jem begins to lead the way down the corridor , now he is sure Clary is no longer in immediate danger of bleeding.]

[steleheart]

I can't believe you know Magnus too.

[ She is far too amused. ] It's crazy.

[silvering]

Crazy is good description for him, in a good way.

He helped us out more than any warlock I've ever had the fortune to meet.

[steleheart]

Oh. [ Brightly. ] He told us he didn't like helping Shadowhunters - but I suppose he does it anyway.

[silvering]

I wonder what changed [Jem murmurs.]

He helps us even when we do not ask directly for help.

[steleheart]

Oh.

Well, he still helps us, he's just grumpy about it. I think Jace annoys him. [ A grin. ] It's not a far stretch, he does that to everyone.

[silvering]

It is the same with Will, Jace reminds me of him.

[steleheart]

They sound like they're long lost brothers.

[silvering]

If Will does turn up here, we will stand them side by side and see.

[steleheart]

[ Laughing again. ] Deal.
