Bloom (Malec)

Alexander Lightwood:

Bloom; verb, used without object:
To produce blossoms.
Or, to thrive in silence.
To glow and shimmer with morning dew.
To break forth with the sunlight, bring on a new day and lull yesterday's troubles to sleep.
To open up to the world and in a hushed, subtle beauty, whisper "I'm here."

Magnus Bane:

Bloom; verb, used with object:
To cause to produce blossoms.
To invest beauty, to stroke soft petals, soft cheeks beneath tender thumb, to raise a blossom of dusty rose beneath the surface, to appreciate its depth and lustre.
To pick said gentle blossom and in the break of tranquil morning, brush smiling lips against its surface and whisper "I know."

In which Magnus admires beautiful things and Alec doesn't know what beautiful means.
