*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

That loud, obnoxious, over styled, jackass!

Magnus really did not care for this 'Jace'. He was insufferable and arrogant and he was really regretting being so easy on his 'reading'. Asking him what his abilities told him about Alec? Right in front of him? It almost seemed cruel. He hadn't taken Jace for that kind of person, hoping that his motives for being this callous towards his brother were more good natured than what it seemed like.

"You know we really need to get back to work, Jace; and he is actually working on a case, this isn't some kind of parlor trick or side show" Alec tried desperately, shooting Jace an aggravated look

"You really don't have to Magnus, just ignore him, it's usually the best option"

Jace just smirked

Oh, yeah, Magnus was WAY too nice in his reading

Alex almost looked scared, and rather downcast, he was slightly staring at his desk, avoiding looking at either of them; as if he actually thought Magnus would say anything about him unfavorable.

Magnus had the out, but he couldn't take it; couldn't leave Alec looking so unsure;

"It really is quite alright, my darling detective, this won't take long" He gave Alec a gentle, reassuring smile before turning to Jace

Magnus fixed him with a stare that could stop a person cold, and in a calm, calculated tone continued

"Alexander is, without a doubt, one of the best people I have ever met. He is truly one of a kind. To begin with, he is absolutely gorgeous; a point which he seems completely unaware of, which is as refreshing as it is baffling, especially when in comparison to his brother who is nowhere near as attractive, in any sense, who possesses an overinflated ego that seems far too exaggerated to even exist outside of a cartoon villain. But physical attractiveness only adds up to so much; though, I realize this may be a rather confusing concept for you to grasp, as that seems to be about 90% of your personality. In addition to remarkable looks, he is courteous, thoughtful, and fiercely determined. He works far too hard and pushes himself far too much, a point that, I'm sure he hears about constantly.  However, it's not about notoriety or praise, he's not focused on advancing his career, or conquest, it's not about that, never has been; it's simply because he wants to help people. He wants to make a difference for them, to do what he can, anything and everything he can, to help them gain closure and acceptance during one of the most unsettling, turbulent, trying times they will ever encounter. To make sure those who cause pain and suffering are held accountable for their actions. He works so hard because he cares. He is fiercely loyal to those who have earned it and, without a doubt, one of the least judgmental, most accepting people I have ever encountered. He is brave, intelligent and considerate and, while you may be a vain, shallow, self absorbed low rent actor- the best decision you could have made, so far as your 'character' is concerned, is getting tips from him, as he is everything an ideal law enforcement agent should aspire to be."
