Maryse Lightwood " Life is not about what you want to do, it's about what must be done. "

#001 - thoughts

Send any of the following to see what the character’s response will be:

➂ - three things you like and dislike about the other

🎥 - their first thought about them when they first met

🎤 - your character’s honest opinion about the other at the moment

🎶 - a song they associate with them

🎲 - what they feel about them in one word

Don’t forget to mention if the response is for an Alternative Universe (mun decides on what kind of AU world we’re talking about) or not. The mun can also decide if they want to reply in canon or AU regardless of what the ask says.

Have fun!

“You Downworlder. Make your contempt any more obvious, can you?” Elena replied sarcastically. “Nazis did not change their minds. Circle members do not as well. Survive an attempt of mass extermination against you and all your kind for no reason other than being different, then we’ll talk.”

Maryse bit her tongue from snapping back at her and took a deep calming breath. “Maybe that day is here sooner than we all think.”

“He would have been correct if this was any other time. But with the relationship between Shadowhunters and Downworlders as it is, it would be unwise to not make an appearance at such an occasion.”

“That’s true even if this scene is more... fit for the younger generations than us. Unless you want to break it on the dance floor?”

Elena took a step forward. “Elena Dalca”, she said smoothly. “You do not remember me. Of course you don’t- I suppose we all look the same to you, Maryse Trueblood. How are your friends at the Circle doing? I haven’t killed one in over a decade.”

Maryse’s face froze at the mention of her former associates. “I have no more connection to the Circle. Is that what you Downworlder use now as an excuse to act without thought? That it must be Circle related, right?”

“Wait for it”, Elena suggested, her smile pure politeness. “Mrs Lightwood. I did not expect to see you here.”

“No one did, I’d suspect,” she said coolly and looked her up and down. “Which one are you?”

imogenherondale:

“That’s one word for it. I suppose you have no idea why we were invited, do you?”

“Bane’s style of humour? He probably did not expect us to show.”

“Is it as you expect?” Aria asked the woman curiously, her head tilting. “Si, I am. What made you decide on wolf? I am curious. I could have been a vampire or a warlock or a seelie.”

“Tamer than expected but I do suspect things will get more frivolous later on,” she drawled. “You’re skin isn’t lifeless, so you’re not a vampire. And you have that air of youth you don’t find around the other two.”

[mryselightwood]

claveloyalwolf:

“So why did you come along?”

“Curiosity about how the other side... celebrates,” Maryse said coolly and turned her gaze to her. “You’re a.... werewolf?”

[mryselightwood]

“So, this is the party... how quaint.”

“You’re wrong.” His voice wavered slightly clenching his jaw. “ You don’t know as much as you think you do and i am jut now learning that, mother.”

“And what you think you do? You’ve known him for how long? And he already used his magic on you to turn you against your own kind. What do you expect the others will think when they hear about this?”

“He was told to do them, they weren0t his fault” She said, frowning. Yes, it had enraged her when she saw him killing downwolders but that didn’t meant she was going to turn her back to him “Valentine would’ve probably killed him if he said no, mother”

“The law is the law, Isabelle. He decided to go with him, and he decided to not come back. And because of that he has to answer for what he has done,” she shook her head, pressing her lips together in a line. “He made his choices and he is responsible for the consequences.”

arcanebane:

The way she moved throughout his home bothered him. Staring. Looking at his possessions. “I let Alexander make his own decisions, Maryse. Anything he decides to do, he’s doing for himself.” That’s what happens when little boys become big boys, he wanted to say, but he figured Alec would have wanted civility.

Her head snapped to stare at him sharply. “You’ve been planting these idiotic notions into his head, confusing him about his duties,” Maryse spoke, distaste clear in her voice. “What do you expect? That he will be with you?”

[mryselightwood]

arcanebane:

The nighttime air was soothing against his skin. Magnus often ended, and sometimes started, his days out here. A warm-up in the morning and a cool-down in the evening. The sounds of a moving city were mixed with the echo of heels and the clearing of a tight throat; unpleasant, truthfully. “The use of a last name,” he commented, turning around to face her. “That’s what we call progress.”  

“I’m not here for pleasantries, Bane.” Maryse started pacing around eyeing the different objects in the room, yet not daring to touch anything. “I want you to stop planting absurd ideas into my son’s head.”

[mryselightwood]

theonewitha-heartofgold:

“Why don’t you want to help him? What would you do if he comes back?” She asked, curious about her mother’s stance on everything “He’s your son too”

Maryse frowned at Isabelle’s words. “He has to respond for his actions and there are plenty of accounts about his activities. I think you were present at one of those were you not? The ball if you recall?”
