...He criticizes Isabelle's cooking
DISCLAIMER: *tears* must i say the ugly words?
Jace walked into the kitchen, and was treated to the most unruly site: Isabelle tossing water onto a boiling pot of…something…on the stove.
"I'm pretty sure warlocks use candles when they raise demons, not burning pots of whatever that is." he sneered, using the teasing tone he reserved for Isabelle's cooking failures. " But on the plus side, judging by the smell, you might have succeeded!"
"Don't leer. It's not like you can cook either." Isabelle snapped, sloshing some water on Jace (which he of course dodged).
"Actually," he started, a small smile playing on his lips. "I can. And I know from a combination of common sense and experience that the reason why your attempt at spaghetti failed so miserably was because the water wasn't boiling. Also, you cook the meat first, and then you put the sauce in. And why, might I ask, are you sticking a metal spoon into a pot of boiling water? Seriously, Iz, even I know this stuff."
"Well then," Isabelle huffed while dousing the last of the flames. "If you're trying to pull the 'high-and-mighty' card on me, why don't you prove it," she challenged, dark eyes flashing.
Jace shrugged. "Fine. It's not like I've got anything better to do. Shove over, I'm gonna need more stove space than that."
OOC: As I'm about as bad a cook as Isabelle, I'm not going even try to write a cook-off scene, so let's just skip to the end, shall we?
After a few more buckets of water, a few iratzes, and more than a few curses, Isabelle managed to produce a mildly toxic combination of raw meat and burnt noodles. She unfortunately decided to 'make it look as glamorous as she was' by sprinkling glitter on top of it. Someone, somehow needs to teach both her and Magnus that glitter isn't edible.
After twenty minutes, Jace managed to produce a significantly better cooked meat sauce with very some very nicely boiled spaghetti. He sprinkled some parmesan cheese on top, but unfortunately failed to notice that it was expired.

And as they were both finishing, the elevator door opened. Out stepped a very happy looking Alec, who, upon seeing (or perhaps smelling) the mess turned on his heel and bolted back into the elevator without looking back. A pity he didn't get to see both Jace and Isabelle fall on the floor laughing, their failed plates clattering on the floor next to them. What started as a cook-off turned into a food fight. And ended as a very messy kitchen, and a very shell-shocked Alec, and a very, very, very angry Maryse.
