"Maybe those stories are true too. Maybe there's a world with Hobbits and Elves. I spent most of my childhood wishing it was true." Maryse hadn't approved. She had thought the books were nonsense, distractions that kept Alec from being the ideal she wished for. But Tolkien's stories had been the inspiration for his choice of weapons. "Maybe being willing to embrace change is why Raphael sent you." Alec had discussed changing things related to the Down World with Raphael but not while they were at the Institute.
"I doubt there's any easy questions with you." His tone was teasing, one that he rarely used with anyone except Izzy. Humming a thoughtful sound, he considered the 'easy' questions, and then decided to ask one that was important to him although few people would realize it or knew of his interest. Alec was about to ask when Jace tried to reassure him about the subjects that were allowed. "Jace, asking those questions would make you uncomfortable, not me. I didn't say it because I didn't want to offend you." Or hurt him, but he wasn't sure if Jace would believe that. "You don't exactly make me uncomfortable." Not in the way that Jace meant at least.
Not wanting Jace to think he was avoiding the offer of asking questions, he returned to the one he'd been about to ask. "What's your favorite type of music?"
