Alec had assumed that Izzy was joking or it was something weird that only his sister and Clary would understand. Adam not understanding it either confirmed that it was one of those things only Clary and Izzy would understand. And no matter what Izzy said, there wouldn't be another being like Magnus. He might find someone else someday but Magnus had never been just a pretty, magical boy.

The Mundane gesture was still weird, but Alec bumped his knuckles against Adam's, trying not to be too obvious about his concern over Adam's reaction to Maryse. "We will. The problem is that she's not completely wrong. There's always some truth when she criticizes us. That's why there's no real way to fight back." Instead they silently accepted that hurt or whatever punishment was going to be set for them.

"I won't let her hurt you." Alec wasn't quite sure why he'd said that. Maryse wouldn't threaten someone who was important to the Institute, but after he'd spoken, he couldn't help thinking of the fact his parents had been part of the Circle. "At least not physically. It's harder to stop her when words are her chosen weapon."
