[ Laughing, he pushes it closer, followed by the plate, and plonks himself down at the breakfast bar after leaving the pan to soak. ]

I hope you don't want babies, I don't plan on ruining my beautiful figure anytime soon. But it's probably safer if I'm the one cooking.

[ Laughing at him then. ] Oh no, don't worry, you can dodge that bullet.

[ Even if the idea of Jace holding a fat and adorable baby is appealing they're too young to even think about it. ]

A girl who's not in a rush to get married and have babies, I'm incredibly lucky. [ Maybe one day, but they're definitely far too young and with plenty to keep them busy.

He shovels the eggs into his mouth as if he's been starved, finishing within minutes to sip his coffee while he waits. ]

[ She's never really understood the ways boys can eat like it's the last mean they're ever going to see so she takes her time with it. ]

This is really good.

[ If it comes into question, it's because he's in a hurry to get out, get back, and get her into bed. Innocently. ]

It might not be a masterpiece, but I am good at breakfast.

[ Finishing up and taking her plate and his to the sink. She rinses the cutlery and washes down the crockery and places them into the draining board before drying her hands. ]

Okay, let's do this thing.

[ She beats him to the dishes, watching her with a raised eyebrow, surprised, because he's usually the one cleaning - well, up to this point, at least. ]

Here. [ He throws a jacket at her, already sliding into his own. ] Ladies first.

[ She just smiles and leaves the apartment, hands in the pockets of her jacket. ]

I wish I had my camera here, I could be taking pictures.

I can get a job, save up enough to get you one.

[ With a shake of her head. ]

No, it's okay. I can always draw the things I want to keep, y'know?

As long as there's a picture of me amongst them.

I can never capture you quite right. [ A soft, thoughtful hint to her voice. ]

No matter how hard I try or how much I try, there's always something missing.

That's because you're supposed to draw me with my clothes on.

[ Laughing as she shoves at him. ]

I'm not drawing nudes of you, Jace.

It was worth a shot.

[ Laughing again as they duck outside and out into the cool streets. ]

Do you want me to draw you naked?

It couldn't hurt to have one in there. You don't make a habit of showing them to everyone, do you? [ Not that he's got anything to hide. ]

Mae looks through my sketchbook occasionally. [ Teasing. ] She probably wouldn't mind.

[ Thoughtfully. ] She's already seen me in nothing but a towel.

And she didn't faint away at the sight?

It's not that hideous to look, is it? Because I work hard to look this good.

[ Laughing. ]

I thought maybe she'd have swooned away, not fainted in fright?

She mostly stood there awkwardly not saying much, but she did look amused. I'm still trying to decide if that's a good reaction or a bad one, but I'm leaning towards the former.

Well, at least I find you terribly attractive.

Of course you do, who wouldn't? [ Oh look at that shit-eating grin. Clary, punch him, he's asking for it. ]
