Magnus Bane: I would help you. But I can’t. Stripping the protection wards off the ship was bad enough—it’s a strong, strong enchantment, demon-based—but when you fell, I had to put a fast spell on the truck so it wouldn’t sink when I lost consciousness. And I will lose consciousness, Alec. It’s just a matter of time. I didn’t want you to drown. The enchantment should hold enough for you to get the truck back to land.

Alec Lightwood: I—didn’t realize. Take my hands. And take my strength too. Whatever of it you can use to—to keep yourself going.

Magnus Bane: I thought you had to get back to the ship.

Alec Lightwood: I have to fight. But that’s what you’re doing, isn’t it? You’re part of the fight just as much as the Shadowhunters on the ship— and I know you can take some of my strength, I’ve heard of warlocks doing that—so I’m offering. Take it. It’s yours.

(Alec gets Clary’s new Fearless rune…)

Alec Lightwood: Mother. Father. There’s something I have to tell you. I’m seeing someone.

Robert Lightwood: Alec, this is hardly the time.

Alec Lightwood: Yes, it is. This is important. You see, I’m not just seeing anyone. I’m seeing a Downworlder. In fact, I’m seeing a war…

(Magnus stops him with a spell, no one notices…)

Maryse Lightwood: Alec!

Alec Lightwood: Wha—what—why am I on the floor?

Izzy Lightwood: That’s a good question. What was that?

Alec Lightwood: What was what? Wait—did I say anything? Before I passed out, I mean.

Jace Herondale: You know how we were wondering if that thing Clary did would work or not? It works all right.

Alec Lightwood: What did I say?

Robert Lightwood: You said you were seeing someone. Though you weren’t clear as to why that was important.

Alec Lightwood: It’s not. I mean, I’m not seeing anyone. And it’s not important. Or it wouldn’t be if I was seeing someone, which I’m not.

Magnus Bane: Alec’s been delirious. Side effect of some demon toxins. Most unfortunate, but he’ll be fine soon.

Clary Fairchild: You’re charging us? But Luke is a friend!

Magnus Bane: Not a friend of mine. I met him only on the few occasions when your mother brought him along when your memory spells were being refreshed. Did you think I was helping you out of the goodness of my heart? Or am I just the only warlock you happen to know?

Jace Herondale: No, but you are the only warlock we know who happens to be dating a friend of ours.

Alec Lightwood: Why would you say something like that?

Jace Herondale: Something like what?

Alec Lightwood: That I’m dating—that we’re—it’s not true.

Jace Herondale: I didn’t say he was dating you, but funny that you knew just what I meant, isn’t it?

Alec Lightwood: We’re not dating.

Magnus Bane: Oh? So you’re just that friendly with everybody, is that it?

Alec Lightwood: Magnus…
