Round/Fight: 3/A
Summary: "With a flower." Clary loathes all things bright and beautiful.
Mattes knew that Clary didn't like flowers; she always turned down her lips at the flower sellers carts and skirted her way around them.
Apparently, it wasn't particularly "Dog-like" to appreciate flowers or in any way acknowledge their existence, especially not whilst on duty, so Mattes kept himself between Clary and the evil flower vendors (and his precious, beloved roses).
He laughed at the face Clary made when Tom left flowers for her on her birthday, and he wondered why she had never told her husband about her apparent loathing of all things bright and beautiful.
"It's the thought that counts," she announces snippily, but an hour later, when her face is red and puffy and she's sneezing so hard she's crying, Mattes calls her on her bluff and puts the flowers on the bench outside.
