[ It starts with a sharp intake of breath and then a clearing of his throat. This is going to be hard, even if it's the best thing he can do. It's the only thing he can do. ]

Hey, Izz.

[ Okay, this is going great already. ]

Izzy.

There's no real easy way of telling you, so I'm going to just ... say it. I was hoping to bump into you, but you're out. And I'm terrible with goodbyes anyway.

[ A breath. ]

[ Since this one clearly isn't working. What with Clary here, and his inability to mingle ... whatever happened to him? He'd been good at this, once. ]

This doesn't mean I've disappeared from your life. I'll be home when you come back. I don't need to tell you this but I'm going to anyway; call it a brother thing. You'll be fine. You'll be more than fine. We're Shadowhunters, Lightwoods.

And about the Dayli - Simon. If your future is anything like mine ... if you like him, don't fight it.
