"I will take the position in the Clave."
"Oh, Alec, those are great news! The Lightwoods have always been esteemed members of our community and now after the attack…"
"Wait. I have a condition."
"A condition? What makes you think you make demands?"
"My husband will move to Idris with me."
"Magnus Bane?"
"Bane-Lightwood. Yes."
"Warlocks aren't allowed within the borders of Alicante. No downworlders are."
"Then I suggest you change that. I'm sure Lucien Greymark is already eager to talk to you about these laws."
"It's not that easy."
"Without Magnus, there would not even be an Alicante left. He saved this city he was banned from without hesitation, because it was the shadowhunters' home, because it was my home and because it was the right thing to do. And he sacrificed himself for it."
"If he sacrificed himself, then why is he healthy and alive now?"
"Because I followed my fiance to the fiery pits of Edom to get him back. Which we destroyed, by the way, which you should probably give him another medal for. It should also show you that I am not leaving him behind. It's both of us or none of us. Take it or leave it. But be aware that a wind of change is exactly what the Clave needs right now, after Valentine, after almost getting destroyed, after our new relationship with the angels, after losing so many of our own. Let me know your answer."
