Clary's text message is innocent enough. Jem catches none of Clary's excitement from it.

He opens the door to her, dressed neatly as always. "Clary," he says with a smile, feeling no residue effects of the awkwardness of his near admission on the network.

"Did you want to go out today?"

Jem slides the biscuits on to a plate and brings it over to her while he's waiting on the kettle.

"It is the best news, I could ever have had. I do not need to worry so for him anymore."

"For Will?"

It's a nice sentiment. But Clary of all people knows that family doesn't always mean happiness. She keeps that to herself though. "Maybe it would help Jace to hear more of the people in his past too."

"For Will," Jem affirms and brings the teas across. "He's not let many people in during all the time I've known him. I feared he would be lonely when I am gone."

He smiles, "I hope so. There are a few interesting stories for him, including the reason behind his fear of ducks."

[cupio]

"I still can't believe they were both afraid of ducks."

She laughs though, sweet and light, "It's crazy."
