judexdolohov:

“A community of one is the best kind of community that you can get.” Because he was not a people pleaser, he was not someone who would choose to be around people unless he was very drunk. Sure he may talk to people in passing, but the conversations tended to be kept short and to the point, not much room for lingering questions and idle chit chat. “I’ve never said you’re not talented, I simply keep you out of my plans because most of the time it’s things you don’t believe or agree in. Best to keep you out the way so I don’t have to sit and listen to you lecture me about the risks of using dark magic from time to time. So I don’t think me not asking for your assistance is quite what you explained there.” Jude hummed in acknowledgement, “She’s new to the shadow world of New York, give her a few weeks and she’ll be as miserable as the rest of them. She hadn’t heard of me, she just took it as though I was complimenting her, it was very unnerving.”

“You do know that I was toying with you Jude. Keep up these compliments and I might actually begin to think someone has taken over your body.” It wasn’t normal for Jude to throw them about at all. “Compared to most people I’m laid back with regard to magic but I’m not about to allow you to singe your pretty eyebrows off or blow yourself up. You’re not invincible though you do act like it on occasion.”  Another couple of drinks were poured and she moved one over to Jude before swallowing back some of her own. “Maybe that’s a good thing though. Good for you to have someone who doesn’t know what an ass you can be.”

judexdolohov:

“Maybe one day, but not today.” He told the other whilst swirling the liquid in his drink around in his glass, because today it hurt to talk about them, a few snippets here and there and he was fine. But to dredge up all those old memories of them on their anniversary would break him. “I’m appalled that you think that way about me, I do nothing but good in this community.” He responded with a sly smile on his face, showing that his words were utter bullshit. “I’ve got it handled, but if I need back up I’ll call you.” He noted before letting out a small scoff, nodding in confirmation that she had heard right. “Well when I took her there the other day, it was her first time in the city. First time encountering downworlders up close and by herself by the sounds of it- she was really happy too-… even when I insulted her. Odd all around that one.”

Honor could understand that. Jude was, to the surprise of most people, incredibly sensitive when it came down to it. He held onto a lot of pain. They all did in fact but they dealt with it differently and it was born of different situations. He had been through something Honor hoped she never had to endure. “Mhm... Good for you and your community perhaps... which consists of just yourself but continue to talk out of your arse if you wish Mister.” She playful jibed, humming as she brought her glass to her lips to drink a sip again, sighing in disappointment as the taste didn’t quite hit the spot the way she wanted it to and ghosting her hand over the rim. The drink changed before their eyes into rum; a far more palatable beverage in her eyes causing her to elicit a happy hum. “I figured you would have but we both know I’m amazing and have far more talent than you give me credit for and unless I offer my assistance you are far too proud to ask for it because that would be admitting I am better than you.” Their words were as usual, simply for show, an act that kept their friendship if you could call it that, ticking over. “Oh? A really happy Nephilim... You don’t come across many of them. Jude; you insult everyone. Maybe she has heard of you and is therefore not phased by your ever charming demeanor.”

judexdolohov:

“Unfortunately it’s because you remind me too much of Lori and hurting you would equivocate to hurting her in my head, you’re lucky.” Though there were other reason as to why he didn’t mind Honor’s company on occasion, she knew when to back off and when to push, she had an act of being able to read him well, a talent which he wished she didn’t have. “My latest ventures? You make it sound like I’m up to mischief all of the time, I’m not. I paid Magnus a visit, he gave me some information regarding the people who murdered my family though I’m not sure if it’s a dead end or not. I met a Shadowhunter who doesn’t like to fight- which… didn’t make sense in my head. Other then that business has been going as usual, nothing out of the ordinary happening.”

“Well I have to say, if we are alike in any ways it must mean she was a particularly amazing woman because I know I am.” She teased lightly, giving him a smirk. “I’d like to learn a little more about her some time if you ever feel like sharing that is.” It wasn’t something she would insist on because some pain was never lost and some memories were private and intimate for only those who experienced them. Jude was a private person when it came to his past and much of his life. He was selective about what he shared. “Jude; you are up to mischief all the time, that isn’t a new realization.” Honor chuckled though, sipping on her drink as he spoke, face becoming a little more serious as he mentioned his family. “Is there anything you need help with?” She knew it was pointless to mention finding them as Jude was the type to have explored every avenue in that way but there may still have been some use for her that he knew of. “A Shadowhunter that doesn’t like to fight? They must be quite the odd one out in the Institute.”

judexdolohov:

“I’m mourning, can’t you let me have my way for once?” He asked, an eyebrow raised in hopes that she would give in and he could start nursing the bottle until it was empty. “I’m not playing games tonight, so if you insisted on that’s how it was going to be - I’d find another bar.”

“I wouldn’t be me if I allowed you to completely get your way now would I. Besides, I’m possibly the one person who doesn’t bend to your will, someone has to keep that ego of yours in check just a little bit.” She smiled softly though, resting a hand on his back for the briefest of moments before removing it. “No games it is then.” Honor wasn’t about to force him but likewise she wanted to offer him company without it being too out of character. Jude wasn’t the type to like that. Then again, he didn’t particularly like company either. “Tell me about your latest ventures.” She asked, picking up her own glass to begin drinking from it.

[honormichaels]

judexdolohov:

“Fine.” He relented, in no mood to argue with the other tonight because that required too much effort and thought and given the drink in his hand was one of many he had consumed during the night his head wasn’t in the right place for arguments. “You can have one and I’ll have the rest, how does that sound?”

Honor chuckled softly. “It sounds like bull shit Jude Dolohov but very you.” She answered back with a smirk. “Keep going and I might make you earn the drink with some sort of drinking game.” She teased, moving to pour a generous amount of the alcohol into two glasses, sliding one over to the other man. 

[honormichaels]

judexdolohov:

“It’s New York, there are hardly any ditches to fall down in Brooklyn. That and I can do this thing called making a portal, I’m rather capable of doing that even in a drunken state.” Because he had done it many times when he had stood up from the bar stool he would have been sitting at for hours and found himself a little unsteady on his feet. “And here I was thinking you were treating me- shame.”

“Jude Dolohov, stop being so logical and take my words for what they are.” She chastised lightly because he really didn’t need to make them so literal. This was simply about being there and looking out for a fellow warlock that she got along with. “Also, fyi; I portal better.” Honor told him with a smirk, not that it was necessarily true but she knew Jude would have something to say about that. “This is me treating you but even a lady like myself needs a drink.”

[honormichaels]

rapier-wit:

“There’s a lot that matters to me. You? Are not on that list.” Jace’s stare was frosty at best. “I don’t have any problems with Downworlders. I have problems with people trying to tell me how to be a person.”

“I see. Well that is fair enough.” She commented coolly, stepping back. “I’ll ensure I don’t cross your path again.”

[honormichaels]

judexdolohov:

Jude stayed silent, because what the other was saying was true. Honor was one of the few that he wouldn’t cause any harm too. For some reason she had stuck around even when he had been his worst with her, but she was odd. There were days when he looked at her and he saw himself and other days where he turned his head and she reminded him of his wife. Maybe that was why he let her stay around, for his own selfish reasons. “I’d walk home, I do most nights.” He pointed out to her before nodding, “Sure. I’m not going to say no to free booze.”

“Yes, well there are some days that call for a companion to make sure you don’t fall down in a ditch. No offence honey but even you can’t pull off a mud mask.” Honor told him with a little smile on her lips as she moved to sit at the bar, calling the bartender over and ordering a bottle instead. “This is to share mind you. Do not think you get to drink this on your own.”

[judexdolohov]

Jude always thought with each year that he was alive that the pain would lessen, his memories would fade and it would become easier. Each year he was proven wrong and when the day came around his heart ached and rage surged through him. “I suggest that if you value your life that you’ll leave now, quickly and without a sound. I feeling particularly murderous tonight.”

[honormichaels]

“I’d like to think I’m the only one you wouldn’t murder... or one of the few at least.” Honor said quietly as she moved forward. “Besides, everyone needs a designated driver.” She informed him as she moved to sit next to him. “Can I get you another?” 

[honormichaels]

rapier-wit:

“Your opinion doesn’t really matter to me. But thanks for the input.” He rolled his eyes, exasperated.

“Is there anything that matters to you?” She asked after a moment. “Or is it just that you have a problem with Downworlders in general?” Because that’s how it came across when someone was that outwardly rude and nasty when they had only just begun to speak to someone. “But you’re welcome.”

[honormichaels]

rapier-wit:

“Yes. Ask around. I’m sure there’s plenty of jilted Downworlders who’d tell you the same thing.” He rolled his eyes. “Not all of us can portal to the forest at the snap of our fingers.”

The warlock rolled her eyes softly. “You need to learn not to be so rude. I’m not entirely sure why you’ve decided to take an instant dislike but that’s a chip on your shoulder, not mine I suppose. As long as you are fine I suppose that is all that matters.”

[honormichaels]

rapier-wit:

“And that person is not you. Not by a long shot.” It was mean but it was true. He barely knew this chick. “What can I say? I like sleeping under the stars.”

“Well you are abrupt I’ll give you that. Is this how you speak to everyone?” Honor asked with a raise of her eyebrow. “Mhm... This isn’t what I’d call sleeping under the stars but if you insist.”

“You will.” Maybe not today. Maybe not for a while but Beau was pretty sure if he really wanted to he could make her feeling it now. It was a potion. It’s not like he’d asked for a portal to hell or something. “I am not alive because I want to be here.” Beau growled darkly, eyes unreadable. “I am not here to make this world a place of sunshine and rainbows. My job is to protect not to comfort.”

Honor couldn’t help but laugh a little at that. The kid had audacity, she would give him that. She moved across the room to sink into one of the chairs comfortably. “I’m sure someone would assist if you were that plagued by it but then things are as they are meant to be.” She said with a shrug of her shoulders. “Mhm... Some things are duty that are not my job. I do them because it is the right thing to do. As hard as you make yourself out to be Beau, I am sure there have been things in life you are not obligated to have done but out of sympathy and understanding you have done them. Why does one person deserve that more than another?”

[honormichaels]

rapier-wit:

“I don’t nee your help.” Jace was more forceful than he originally intended but he was still wired from the dream and he hated people he barely knew prying like they knew him at all.

“No, perhaps you need someone who you trust.” Honor said simply, offering him a small smile. “Either way, it’s quite the choice of place to take 40 winks.”

“I never said they’ o a better job. Just that they’d be able to take a little sarcasm while they did it. It’s a cruel world, lady. Better learn to grow some skin eventually.” He shrugged. “Your loss. Not mine.”

“You say that and yet I don’t feel the loss.” It’s not as though she didn’t get enough trade from others. “Do you ever think that it’s a cruel world because of people like yourself? Or at the very least that you add to the sorrow. For someone who fights so hard to protect people, I would have thought that you would want to improve life in as many ways as you can rather than cast yet another shadow on a world that is trying to cope with so many bad things.”

“Why someone as beautiful as you must have a piece of angel in them.” He smiled at ease. Listening to her every word, Theoden closed his eyes and relaxed his body so the Warlock could reach into his mind. “Have you started yet? I…I see nothing.” That was worrying. If he was looking into his future and saw nothing, would that mean he was as good as dead?

“Oh please... That is such a seelie thing to say.” Honor rolled her eyes. “Okay Prince Charming; how about you lay off the unnecessary compliments and start focusing your mind. Obviously this isn’t going to work if you can’t get your mind to stop racing.”

“Only because you are part of me and I a part of you, will I behave.” He smirked softly. Had Honor been a Shadowhunter he would have made a quip about it all being easy, especially their job, just to get under their skin. 

“My mind is yours to navigate. Tread carefully for I know not what lies ahead.”

“You are part of me? And what part would that be hm?” Honor asked as she rubbed her hands together, picking up a little jar and tipping a little of the liquid out to rub it into her hands. “I’m going to place my hands on your temples sweet; close your eyes. It won’t just be me that gets to take this ride.” She explained with a little smile on her face as her fingers rested in place, magic coursing out of her.
