"We can't be sure that they're less complicated. They're from a different world." Alec didn't want to become overconfident and then everything could fall apart. The Head Librarian was depending on them. He wasn't going to ruin that trust because of assumptions. "I think you're right about feeling safe. If they trust us, it'll be easier."

Which probably was easier said than done considering what happened to Bambi's mother.

The question about demons caused Alec to pause, remembering Abbadon and Magnus' father. "In my world they are. I don't know about others." Maybe they were like Downworlders in other realities but in his, he'd never consider one good. Which might give Sebastian the wrong impression of Magnus. "But those who are related to them. They can be good or bad, just like humans can be."
