Raphael waits silently, till they are out of the parking lot… waiting till they're just a few minutes from home, then…

"Psychic, Magnus, really?"

"I know! I know, I wasn't planning it or anything, it just sort of happened!"

"How does defrauding the police and impersonating a psychic just happen? That does not just happen! That has never, in the history of the human race, JUST happened!"

Raphael shook his head, sighing.

Really, how does Magnus get himself into these things?

"Well, it was that, or I was a suspected accomplice in the museum heist…

So, you know, 'psychic' seemed like the best way to go." Magnus said with a shrug…

Like it was nothing

Raphael looked at him, slightly taken aback

"They actually thought you were an accomplice in the robbery?"

"Yeah. Well...mainly Alec's partner did"

Raphael nodded faintly,

"Oh, you mean the guy you dressed down and then subsequently outed in front of the station's chief?"

"Yeah, him, he wa-

Wait, how did you know about that?" Magnus demanded, suspiciously

Raphael shrugged,

"Hmm? Oh…, detective Lewis told me."

"DETECTIVE LEWIS?!" Magnus practically screeched

Raphael cringed, at times like this he really wished there was a human equivalent of a volume button,

Especially with Magnus.

"Yes? Lightwoods partner? When you sent me to help him get the files, he told me." Raphael replied with a light shrug, glancing over, raising an eyebrow tilting his head curiously at Magnus, more than a bit confused by the reaction.

Oh, crap, Magnus has That Look;

The overly interested, meddling, probably already scheming one he gets when he thinks there is something he absolutelyhas to do for Raphael's own good.

This never ends well for Raphael

Magnus continues, gesturing slightly,

"So, he just, told you?"

Raphael nodded hesitantly,

"Yeah… He told me pretty much the entire day… in like, one breath,"

Raphael shakes his head, with a faint chuckle, smiling slightly

"He talks a lot"

Magnus' eyes go wide; he turns more towards the other man, animatedly pointing accusingly at Raphael

"Wait, what's going on with your face!?"

"What?"

"You're smiling!"

"So? I smile."

Magnus scoffs, eyes bright and curious, he gives a slight nod,

"Yes, you do; When you think of something particularly snarky to say, when you outsmart an especially obnoxious doctor on your route, When you find an absolutely perfect suit, and when you utterly destroy a rival in, well, anything…

Also, occasionally, when you're trying to intimidate someone. You don't smile, just to smile."

Okay, he needed to stop this, like, right now before it got even worse

"I-I'm just relieved that things turned out all right for you, I was worried." He ventured quickly, trying to school his features into a contrite, concerned, expression…

It wasn't a lie; he had been worried when he found out that Magnus was at the police station all day, and he really was quite relieved that it worked out for Magnus.

It really was all the truth; just omitting a few slight details.

Raphael had been best friends with Magnus for nearly 20 years; he knew this was the only way you could get anything past the guy…

Plan B was usually just to try to distract him with something shiny and hope he forgot what you'd been talking about.

"Uh, huh" Magnus murmured noncommittally

Raphael hazards a subtle glance over,

Uh oh…

The Look was still there

He took a deep breath, thinking quickly,

"So, this will actually be really great for you, right? You could actually be a detective? I know how much you regretted not being able to follow through with it… this will give you a chance to actually do it, right? And that detective Lightwood seemed like a pretty decent guy, at least from what I saw."

Magnus beamed, nodding happily,

"I know! It just sort of all fell into place, I really can't believe that I am getting this chance! And I get to work with Alec! He is just so…."

Oh, thank god, ' plan B' worked…

Apparently this 'Detective Lightwood' works even better than something shiny with Magnus…Hmm... Good to know

Raphael filed that information away for later and let Magnus' chatter fade into the background.
