he’s here because she asked, but her motives for doing so are a complete mystery. after all, this seems like official shadowhunter business. he can’t possibly be the best choice for that shit, yet she suggested he accompany her and now they’re skillfully loping side - by - side along busy city streets in search of...a demon? that sounds about right but ben doesn’t remember exactly what she said. it’s been getting increasingly difficult for him to focus when she’s around which he really ought to be more angry about. ( this defective bond is seriously fucking with him. ) he can’t even garner a little pseudo - annoyance when cassie’s footsteps slow then shuffle to a stop in front of an unassuming little building he instantly recognizes though its significance to their current task eludes him entirely. “what is it?” he wonders, sparing only a glance at the quaint bookshop.
