"Thanks Iz." Emery mumbled as Izzy finished pulling the gauze and tape from Emery's arms. Emery could really do if herself as the tape reached all the way down to her fingers. There was only a couple scar that ran parallel to each other across her left arm. Too bad it was her left arm, she was left handed.
"Yeah no problem." Izzy reassured her as she watched her parabatai stretch her arm out with care. Emery grimaced at the sight of the scars, her eyes scanning over the jumps of flesh stretching and pulling as she moved. "Does it hurt?" Isabell asked carefully.
Emery pressed her lips, shaking her head in response. "No, it's just weird is all." Emery quickly pulled her long sleeves down to cover the scaring before throwing her legs off the cot and standing. For a moment she thought that she might fall down, after laying down for so long. But she didn't. "Okay let's go spar-"
"Slow down." Isabelle said grabbing Emery's arm. Emery looked down at Izzy with a sigh. Izzy was right, Emery was itching to go hit something. "Good, lets go get something to eat, maybe go shopping." Isabelle said with a large smirk smeared across her face. Emery smiled, nodded, and then followed Izzy.

The two girls laughed and threw their heads back while they walked in the mall. They always laughed when they were together. There was always someone to laugh about when Emery was with Isabelle.
Izzy and Emery ducked into a store, a dress catching Izzy's eye. Izzy was always on the hunt for a new dress to wear to Pandemonium with Simon. She loved watching his face flush red when he saw her walk out in a skin tight dress. Simon had always been a shy kid but with his new muscles and runes now scattering his skin he felt more confident then ever.
"You know," Izzy started, catching Emery's eye for a second, "Jace will eventually come around." Emery didn't want to talk about Jace. She was sick of talking about Jace, sick of thinking about Jace.
"Jace can do whatever he wants." What she really meant was, Jace can be pissed all he wants and Jace can do whoever he wants. Emery licked her lips and rolled her eyes. "I get why he's upset, I would be upset with me. I'm upset with me." Emery told Isabelle. Izzy smiled lightly as she looked threw the racks of clothes.
Izzy also understood why Jace was mad. She was mad when the Clave first told her, but she got that it had to be hard for Emery to leave and say goodbye to them. Isabelle figured that it was just too hard for Emery to say goodbye.
"Did you think that if you stayed to say goodbye that you wouldn't leave?" Izzy blurted out, not looking up from the black dress she pulled off the rack. Emery felt her breath get caught in her throat. She knew Izzy had said she wasn't mad but Emery thought just maybe she was, and was just really good at hiding it.
"If I had tried to say goodbye... and Max was crying, and you were crying. Then Alec comforting you guys while masking his own pain." Emery took in a deep breath, pausing, "And Jace being a stone wall. I wouldn't have left." Emery told Izzy. Izzy nodded, finally hearing it out loud made her realize how hard leaving must have been for Emery. Just like it was for everyone else.
