Leaning in, he stole a brief kiss. "It's required for Shadowhunters. Most of us learn at least a half dozen languages. I learned some French and Italian but I'd like to learn Japanese."

But Sebastian seemed genuinely curious about Alec's life.
"The first ones are to protect us from demons." The protection runes that had fallen way when Jace had been brought back from the dead. "The others are ones that we use when we start our training. We have to be able to see a Downworlder to know what we might have to fight."
Smiling at Sebastian, he realized he was about to start blushing when he noticed how his friend's gaze was lingering on him. "You're the first person I've talked about this with."
