//Contrary to what some people might think, this is RP, so people can ship with who they want. If you're not a fan of that ship, because you prefer another ship, that's okay, but what's not okay is chastising someone for their choice of ship. In RP, we're meant to explore our =

@EndarkenedDeed = silently considered as my brows furrowed tightly in preparation to respond to his accusations. "Whatever your reasons for being here, the truth will ultimately come to light." I decided to leave it at that for now. My way of letting him know that I would be watching him.

@ProneToEyeRolls to be wary of him but Izzy wanted Sebastian around so he wa going to do that anyway. “ Blame your sister she asked me to come here . I took the opportunity since I like being around Izzy. “

// Starter for @ProneToEyeRolls // Sebastian had tricked his way into the Institute a plan that bad worked out well through using Izzy. None of them knew yet he was Valentine Morgenstern son. A product of an experiment of being given demon blood while he was still in his >>

@EndarkenedDeed = he may be a shadowhunter and Izzy may trust him, but I was not nearly as quick to trust someone as my sister was. All that to say, until he proved to me that he was in no way a threat here, and with that, could be of use to us here, I would be watching him like a hawk. I =

@EndarkenedDeed = well- received from him, he was even more of a delusional idiot than I already deemed him to be. One thing he was right about though was the fact that I did not trust him... not in the least, and as a result of that, I had every intention to keep a close eye on him. Yes, =

@EndarkenedDeed My eyes shifted into a roll as I listened to Sebastian lecturing me about being more interesting and having some fun. "You sound like Clary, Jace, and Izzy." I muttered under my breath. I didn't take their advice often on that front, so if Sebastian thought it would be =

@BolshieNephilim = Did I necessarily see the two of us becoming friends? Eh, jury was still out on that one, but I could at least try to meet her halfway here and now with this. "For the record though, there's a chance you might find me boring once you do get to know me better."

@ProneToEyeRolls another sip from her glass . “ We never get a chance to talk much about anything else but our Shadow Hunter duties so it’s nice to talk about outside of all that. “

// Starter for @Pronetoeyerolls // Clary had been human she had gone through life not knowing her parents were ShadowHunters. Going to Art School she had suddenly seen strange things happening to herself. She was Firey anyway Prone to lose her temper. But Clary had found >>

@BolshieNephilim = when you consider all of this, it was difficult for me to understand why she would want to know me on a more personal matter. "All that to say, I am open to lowering the wall I have up slightly in order to give you the chance to get to know me." I was trying here and now. =

@BolshieNephilim = you since you arrived at the Institute, Clary. If I'm being honest, I resented you a bit for it. The fact that you came out of nowhere the way you did and just had this natural tendency to do this job." I was, in no way, trying to insult her now or even to make her mad. Still =

@BolshieNephilim "Actually, no, to be honest." I aired out in sincere response to Clary's question about her genuinely being interested in getting to know me for me. I could not wrap my head around that... or why she would want to know someone like me better. "I have been really tough on =

@BolshieNephilim = majority of the time, but I'm not a robot. I have been known to crack a joke every now and then." I clarified. Grant it, that didn't happen often, but it did on occasion.

@ProneToEyeRolls don’t see eye to eye at times . You’re not one of those guys who flirts constantly and then just leaves when they feel like it. “

@BolshieNephilim = something like that, but Jace and Izzy get a strange sort of thrill out of trying to get me flustered." I admitted as I resumed eating the food that was on the plate in front of me. "As far as teasing goes, yes, I have done that before. I know I am focused on work the =

@BolshieNephilim = to get a blush out of me, but I couldn't see Clary going along with something like this. Still, the comment about wanting to see my bedroom struck me as surprised, so I guess I had to ask if for no other reason but to make sure. "Not that I thought you would go along with =

@BolshieNephilim Did I necessarily believe this was some sort of joke that Jace and Izzy convinced Clary to pull on me? No. Not exactly. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be surprised if Jace and Izzy tried because they seemed to get some sort of rise out of making me uncomfortable, while trying =

@BolshieNephilim = so it would make sense because those too loved to try and get me to squirm. I wouldn't put anything past them at this point.

@ProneToEyeRolls had to be a result. “ Let’s just say it’s not about what’s in the room. It’s who you’re in the room with and how you go about that .”

@BolshieNephilim = my bedroom goes, I don't really know what you mean, and I'm not sure I want to. This is all making my head swim a bit now as it is." I admitted since I really didn't know Clary's angle here and now. "Wait, did Jace and Izzy put you up to this to get a rise out of me?" Okay, =

@BolshieNephilim = so, my cheeks warmed into the hints of a blush as she continued to speak. "Yeah, I'll take your word for all of that..." I eventually said in a mixture of awkwardness and uncertainty. Not really knowing what more one could say in response to the artistic comments. "As far as =

@BolshieNephilim = clear, but my point is, I had no experience with this stuff, so although it felt like Clary might be hitting on me now with her compliments and then her desire to see my bedroom, I would have no way of knowing if she was or wasn't since all of this was foreign to me. Even =

@BolshieNephilim This all felt so surreal to me now. Clary complimenting my looks and classifying me as someone worth drawing. That thought in itself felt foreign to me. I had never dated before... Not that this was us dating because I knew it wasn't. Not even remotely close to dating, to be =

@BolshieNephilim = eat my food. "It really is. I'm enjoying it." I nodded in agreement to her question about the meal. Couldn't really go wrong with family owned Italian restaurants. They tended to have really good food there.

@ProneToEyeRolls room it usually means she wants to see more of you. Not that I don’t see a lot of you in the Institute anyway. The food is really good here. What do you think. ?”

@BolshieNephilim = to me either, but it did to her so I guess I may understand it in time. "Alright. At some point then I'll show you my bedroom. Fair warning though, you're going to see it's pretty boring in there. Bed, dresser, closet, and some books." I casually shared as I continued to =

@BolshieNephilim = word for that." I eventually said. Not mad that she was drawing me, but not exactly flattered either. I guess it was more so in a category of its own like surreal or hard to believe. Either way, I gave a nod in response to her comment about my bedroom. That not making sense =
