Together In London | Genevieve & Marcus
With Elodie on Genevieve's back-- her short arms around her older sister's neck for support-- and Anna holding her hand, the three Highsmith ladies walked from the drawing room of the London Institute to the gardens. Having just arrived in London, their Mama and Papa were still catching up with the Herondales and Will, Genevieve assumed, was in the library. The London Institute was just as Genevieve remembered it, and she could not wait to see more of the city with her family. It had been a year since the Highsmiths were in London and the city being a second home to Genevieve, she had missed it dearly.
The three conversed in French as they walked, and it wasn't until they were only a few meters away from the entryway of the gardens when Genevieve spotted a figure. It was Marcus Lightwood, she saw, and she was just about to greet him when her younger sister beat her to it. "Marcus!" Anna squealed, letting go of her older sister's hand and skipping towards the male Shadowhunter. Marcus, being Will's parabatai, was and always had been a close friend of their family. In fact, the Lightwoods of Alicante were quite close with the Highsmiths and it was a pleasant surprise to find them in London at the same time as they were. "Bonjour, Marcus!" Elodie greeted, and Genevieve slowly put her on the ground. "Ah, so you meant what you said? You will help me look after my sisters today?" The older Shadowhunter girl asked with a gentle smile on her lips. The two had crossed paths about an hour ago, but with Genevieve looking after her sisters, she couldn't talk long. However, Marcus had so kindly offered to spend the afternoon with her and her sisters and Genevieve accepted and appreciated his company.
