Sebastian shook his head a little, silently disagreeing and looking around at the bath. "I like listening to you talk."

It was the simple truth. Alec was willing to talk to him and didn't seem to be forcing himself to be nice or social out of sympathy or obligation. He felt real and sincere and Sebastian couldn't remember the last person, other than Jack, who had felt that way.

The only time Christian Scott had felt real or sincere was when he was attacking him. And this time Jack hadn't been there to save him.

That was another thing about Alec. He felt safe. Even now, when he was so exposed, it was his modesty, not his fear keeping him mostly covered by the water. Modesty and Magnus.

"You said Magnus is a Warlock...but he's also half human?"
