"Herondale blood..." Her eyes widened as the image of Will and Tessa came instantly to mind. Blinking a few times, she looked at Alec intrigued and confused. Then the image of a beautiful dark haired woman came to mind. "Cecily Herondale..." Then she laughed a little. "Gabriel. Gabriel Lightwood. Will mentioned that. I never put one and one together..." Closing her eyes, she smoothed his hair back gently turning the question about her name over in her head. "No. I doubt... the ones that named me cared about things like that. Or me for that matter."
It hadn't been the first time she'd put her life and limb on the line for a Nephilim. For gorgeous blue eyes pleading for help and a friend. She'd not been in love with Will. No, it hadn't been love. She'd simply wanted to put him back together so he could find happiness with Tessa. Meeting Alec's eyes, she reached out and so very gently traced the side of his face as he cuddled closer. "As long as we don't stop here... with just you and I. An ideal isn't supposed to stay between only two."
Her smile turned warm and gently at his concern for his siblings and intense love. All he needed to know was their safety was assured. Resting her head on his, she closed her eyes and used one hand to softly rub his scalp. "You're right. They are tricky. And I want you healthy and able when you see them again." Then why did her heart hurt thinking about the day he'd leave?
All she could do was shake it off. "Alec, true gallantry isn't really planned. It's in the heart and all the reasons behind it." Smiling to herself, her fingers idly twirled locks of hair about them and sighed tiredly. "Thank you for letting me take care of you."
She liked taking care of certain people. Sometimes it just really hit her as a need. Like with Will and Tessa... or even with their son James. Maybe it was the Herondale blood that made her want to help him too.
The heavy warm feeling slid over her as she held him close, and his addition of an arm about her only made the position more comfortable. She might have fallen asleep until he pulled back. Opening her eyes slowly, she peered at him slightly amused through dark lashes. "Mmhm... 'unique'. It would make a showgirl proud. And Ragnor Fell yelling. As for the story... it'll take a while, so I'll tell it when we're not so tired. Deal?"
