( honestly, izzy isn't quite sure where they should even start—coming to cadelle on it's own had been an adjustment, but there's been so much that's happened already along the way. she's not used to nor has she ever often preferred the attention to be on her, but it wasn't as if there wasn't a topic that wasn't ready to spill from carmine lips the moment they'd finally been within the same vicinity as one another.

she's never really had anything like what she does with baby, hasn't really had someone to confide in with those things, either, aside from alec—and while she loved him to death, he didn't exactly carry the same reactionary flare clary did when it came to such subjects. she supposes the best way to start is honestly, before she gets too ahead of herself. )

It's been... I don't know, different? ( a gesture to the side for them to sit once more, placing palms over the menu folded just before her, though mind's mostly absorbed in the whir of thoughts keeping her company. ) I've never known anything but the Institute, you know? Not having Alec, ( until just recently, ) having no briefings and anything to report to, it's made me restless. ( if the bruises she's yet to iratze along her knuckles speak anything of the matter. )

But things have helped. ( sucker punch, training, late night runs to spike her heart rate. him. )Someone's helped, a lot.

( Different is an apt way to describe things. Clary's not sure she would have been able to cope had she not found Jace almost straight away. Izzy has always been an independent kind of girl though, and she can only imagine things were much different for her. ) You're having to adjust to a Mundane life. I think it would be hard for any Shadowhunter. ( Even she's been restless, unsure of herself. But for most of her life it's been like this. Normal. ) But you'll get there. There's time here to deal with everything.

( Personally she thinks they need it. They've all been through so much and instead of getting the space to work through it they just have to keep moving forward. Clary just hopes that the time doesn't have any detrimental affect.

But then Izzy mentions a someone, and Clary's eyes go wide and her smile turns delighted. She leans over the table a little more, grinning. ) Oh? Have you been holding out on me, Lightwood? Have you found yourself a cuddle partner? I want details! Immediately.

( The poor waiter who keeps eyeing them from the other side of the room. He's in for a night, if it's going to be gossip central. )
