Title: Born to Be

Rating: G
Word count: 124
Pairing: Clary/Mattes
Round/Fight: 2/B
Summary: She was born to this, and he wouldn't change it for anything.

It was in her blood, and that was the only way that Mattes could describe it; Clary could melt into the shadows at a will, could bring a finger to her lips and stop all words from his mouth with nary a sound.

She could appear as delicate as the snowflake that dropped onto her playful tongue in the first snowfall of the year, and she could take out someone three times her size with only her baton and her force of will, muscles cording out and mouth tight in a line.

She was born to be a Dog, and Mattes wouldn't change that for anything, wouldn't change partners for anything. Not even when she married a man from outside the kennel named Tom.
