Oh good it worked...
Looks like he might get to keep his pretty new partner after all. Alec seemed to be relaxing a bit, not so ready to bolt for the door, so that was good. He'd even agreed to at least give it a real chance. That was actually more than Magnus was expecting from his initial reaction.
He'd not only seemed irritated by the slight being relegated to the FBI loony bin was but almost fearful. That really wasn't too odd. He'd had more than a few partners who took this assignment as a pretty clear indicator they were on their way out so far as the Bureau was concerned. He tried not to take the reaction personally.
And Alec was never rude about it- quite the contrary- he was actually really respectful. Even though he thought the field itself was absurd, and he could see plainly that Magnus truly believed in it, that it was- as Alec had said- his 'life's work' he'd never, even for a second, dismissed Magnus or his beliefs. It'd honestly caught Magnus totally off guard. He really wasn't used to that in these situations. He'd had agents outright laugh in his face about it. They were dismissive and belittling at best, outright confrontational at worst. Well...unless they thought he was literally insane and were just placating him as they slowly backed towards the door.
He's had that one more than a few times...
Admittedly the last group was usually his favorite. There were a few agents who always got so very twitchy when he entered the room...
Especially when the room was the shooting range.
They were so much fun to screw with.
But this Agent Lightwood- Alec; his reaction was totally different. Even though he didn't believe in the things, in fact found the assignment beneath him and took it as a personal slight, he never- even for a second- seemed to in any way look down on Magnus for his belief in it.
That...That was something else.
You could be skeptical and still be open minded.
And okay, he seemed a bit uptight, but...hell he was a FBI agent, pretty much all of them are uptight.
Magnus could definitely work with this guy.
