I'm impressed if you were actually able to do that. They both rival me for most stubborn out of all of us, I think. [ Jace, too, could be put in that list, which is probably why it's good he was keeping them in check. ]
There weren't enough guards to handle everything, let alone try to protect any Doms that got stuck down there. [ Her designation even made her more of a target — has in the Down for a while now — but that's not important enough to point out right now. ] But like I said, I found someplace to stay, and I had a friend watching my back to make sure I didn't do anything too stupid. It's not like I was totally alone.
And even if I was, you know I can take care of myself.
Yeah, well unluckily for them, I can out stubborn them both when I'm in the mood. I was just exhausted afterwards. If nothing else, it distracted me from doing too much worrying and being reckless on my own.
[ Jace knew damn well he would have joined them otherwise. ]
Well then I guess all the guards were up here, because there were plenty to guard the train stations, the elevator, and enforce that we all enjoyed ourselves at the parties, or else. [ Jace really wants to ask more about this friend, because he hasn't been exactly keeping track of what Clary has been up to. Not that she needs him to. Not that he has any right to. It's just. It was Clary. ]
Oh believe me. I know you can. I probably should feel more sorry for anyone who messed with you down there.
Add that to the list of reasons I'm glad you all got stuck together. [ It would've been nice having another more familiar face with her, but Clary's thankful she managed to find Finn and Poe. She could've been left completely alone, a target on her back because of her designation.
She lets out an annoyed huff. ] They really have their priorities straight, don't they? [ But maybe that was the point: keeping more of the LIERs from finding out about what was going on. They seem awfully obsessed with controlling everything else; unrest in half of the city is probably something they'd want to hide. ] Should I even ask what the "or else" was?
No, not really, but I made it through alright. [ Any injuries were easily healed with her healing rune, too. ] Other people weren't so lucky. It would've been one thing if they were just fighting each other, but it got to the point that people who weren't even trying to get involved got hurt. [ That, of course, is what had her on the streets more than anything. ]

[ Jace hums a little and his laugh is wry. ]
Oh I think they have their priorities just where they want them. They just happen to be really fucked up priorities.
