Alec arched an eyebrow at Adam's comment. The temple had always been welcoming to him, but there were areas that Alec knew he wasn't able to access. "The temple will decide what you should learn and when." Just as it had for Alec. He wasn't sure if Adam was patient enough to wait for the temple to release its secrets. Probably not. Adam was mortal and couldn't wait decades or centuries for the temple to decide when he was ready to learn its secrets.

His shoulders sagged briefly at the thought. Adam might be the priestess, but Alec knew he shouldn't get used to the idea of someone visiting him regularly. Even if he did, Adam wasn't like Alec. Eventually he'd be gone just like Izzy, Jace, and Max.

Shaking off the thought, he glanced down at the cats, surprised to find Persephone watching him. When she had his attention, she weaved between his legs then moved to Adam, butting her head against his shin. "Uh - Do you want me to show you around? That would be the right thing to do?" It'd been so long since he'd been around anyone other than the cats, he wasn't certain what was polite. The Priestess belonged to the temple just as much as Alec did. He could go wherever he wished whether Alec wanted him to or not. "Or if you don't want me to - Persephone likes you. She'd keep you company."
