Laughing softly, he couldn't help thinking of Izzy and some of the stunts she'd pulled over the years. Sometimes they'd been aimed at him or Jace, sometimes both of them since it 'wasn't fair' that boys got to do fun things. And the next time he saw Ragnor he probably was going to think of him as a cabbage and cause the warlock to dislike him even more. "I'd like your company too."
But not while trying to swim to shore. "Magnus... There won't be any shark taming. Or riding." Could someone ride one even if it was charmed? It was something he didn't want to consider even if Magnus was most likely joking.
At first, he thought the dislike of water might be because of Magnus being so catlike, but the admission that she was afraid of it made him reconsider. Alec had the feeling that there was something more there than just a common fear, but knew that he shouldn't ask. "Since you dislike water, I'll do everything possible to make sure that you don't have to go swimming with me. I'll try to stay in Ragnor's good graces."
If Ragnor had any good graces. His dislike for Alec wouldn't be easy to deal with but he could stay out of the way until he could return to his siblings.
Returning that smile, he couldn't help being pleased that he'd made such an impression on her. Most people thought so little of him, that it was a gift to have someone who wasn't one of his siblings think of him in such ways. "I'll do everything I can to make sure I never hurt you." For a moment, he wondered about the phrase, why he'd said it that way. It felt right but also like there was more meaning behind it, but he wasn't sure what.
Shaking his head, he knew he'd have to give up on the subject of the bed... for now at least. There was always the floor even if that was probably childish. But it wouldn't seem right to sleep in her bed while she was on the couch. She'd already done so much for him. He couldn't take her bed too.
Even knowing that he should hurry, Alec couldn't stop himself from simply relaxing against the back of the tub, enjoying the warm water eased the lingering traces of his injuries. Not realizing he'd closed his eyes, he blinked out of the daze he'd started to fall into, surprised by Magnus' answer. "I thought it was longer. With how badly I had to be hurt..."
He hadn't thought he'd ever wake up. Looking down at himself, he noted the red lines that would eventually become more scars, thinking of what Catarina had said about the demon poison. When he finally spoke again, his voice was quiet. "I didn't think I was going to make it."
