"Uh..." For a moment, he remembered what Magnus had said about her hats and his own shopping trips with Isabelle and wondered what exactly it'd be like to have Magnus drag him along while trying to get him a new wardrobe. "I don't go shopping that often unless my sister insists." And that he could avoid most of the time until she got sick of his black shirts looking brown or their parents were forcing him to attend one of their parties in hopes of finding a 'nice girl' for him to marry.
Shaking off his worries about his clothing suddenly having feathers, he blinked at her a moment before realizing what she'd meant about the corset. "No, but if you hadn't allowed me to share your quarters, you might have slept more comfortably." Or she might have taken off the corset if he hadn't been nearby.
There had to be somewhere else he could sleep so that she could have her bed back.
Not that she seemed to be worried about propriety. Staring at her as he regained his balance, he answered, 'Okay' to her question before realizing what she'd asked. She wanted to help him bathe. Most women he knew would have been scandalized by the idea of being alone with a man, let alone see one naked. Even Shadowhunters who saw each other in various states of injury would have been hesitant to make such an offer.
A brilliant blush crept across his face as he stuttered for an answer. "It wouldn't be proper for you to help me." Even as he spoke, he felt slightly guilty, knowing that Magnus only meant to help but he couldn't help thinking of her reputation. "I wouldn't want you to... I wouldn't want anyone thinking the wrong thing about you." Even if they might already since they'd shared the same bed.
Still struggling to control his blush, Alec moved to the screen, beginning to slowly pull off his bloodstained clothes, hissing softly when the fabric stuck to his healing skin. "I'm sure I can manage on my own." Even if he seemed to be fighting a losing battle with his shirt.
