the shadow in Shadowhunters

chapter 49

i was sitting in a chair listning to everyone talk.

robert "are the wards solid now? nothing will get through?"
mgnus "even my magic has limits."
magnus "the wards won't hold off that forsaken attack."

magnus "but my protections will slow them down."
robert "extra time is priceless."
magnus "no... say that after you get my bill."
robert "lydia will take care of that."

magnus "a forsaken wound often needed a little warlock TLC."
magnus "may i? uh, free of charge."
alec "it's okay."
alec "i'm fine."

magnus "if anything were to happen to you--"
alec "magnus..."

alec "i'm good."
alec "all right? i gotta-"
magnus "go?"
magnus "of course. you're a busy man."
magnus "and i should find this lydia person."

magnus "payment upfront is just smart business."
magnus "where might i find her?"
alec "i haven't seen her."
alec "but if i do, i'll send her your way."

alec walks away.
izzy "meliorn?"
i guess this meliorn person walkes in.
izzy "what are you doing here?"

meliorn "the clave called me in for some kind of conference."
izzy hugs meliorn.
izzy "i'm so happy to see you."
meliorn "spear me."

meliorn "your fire message clearly stated you never wanted to see me again."
izzy "my family--"
meliorn "despises downworlders?"

meliorn "that's common knowledge."
izzy "that's not true,"
izzy "and even if it were, i'm not like that."
meliorn "i'm not here to talk about us."

meliorn "i believe that's your clave envoy."
lydia "isabelle, please step a side."
lydia "meliorn, the clave has ordered that you be placed under arrest."

meliorn "what?"
izzy "what for?"
lydia "soliciting state secrets from a shadowhunter"
lydia "on behalf of valentine morgenstern."
lydia "gards."

the gards grabed him and start taking him away.
izzy "have you lost your mind?"
lydia "me?"
lydia "you're lucky you weren't arrested along with him."

izzy "what are you talking about?"
lydia "it's our understanding that your long-standing relationship"
lydia "with the seelie, meliorn, may have led to the disclosure of state secrets."

izzy "what? no!"
izzy "meliorn told me how to get into the hotel dumort"
izzy "so that we could save a mundane."

lydia "and you told him nothing in return?"
lydia "nobody is blaming you for the attack."
lydia "meliorn and the seelies were likely working with valentine all along."
