Even their server, Erik, is anxious around Alec and serves him extra spicy food in retaliation. Having gathered spectators who wish them luck on their date, they leave the platform.Īt the restaurant, an Ethiopian and Italian fusion run by Luigi and frequented by Downworlders, the Downworlders do not take lightly to the idea of a Shadowhunter dining with them. The mugger also returns Magnus his wallet, one that bites, and apologizes for disrupting their first date.
Just then, a woman working at a talent agency offers Alec a shot at a career. Once off the train, a mugger tries to steal Magnus' wallet, only to be attacked in turn by Alec. Both still feeling rather awkward and shy, Alec and Magnus restrain themselves, not laughing when a couple of subway performers come aboard the train to sing the "Butt Song". Alec is having a hard time faring without his glamour rune hiding him from the mundanes. Magnus then leaves to fetch Alec a shirt, the most ordinary he could find, which the shirt he was wearing when Alec asked him out days before-a black shirt with the sequined words "blink if you want me" on it, and returns to see a shirtless Alec in his living room.Īfter Alec is dressed, the pair leave and board the F train. To ease the tension, Magnus offers Alec a glass of wine, only to have it spilled by the nervous Shadowhunter. Alec arrives shortly after, however, frantic and winded, having come from training with his parabatai, Jace, whom Magnus knew Alec was infatuated with. Half an hour after Alec was supposed to meet with him, Magnus assumes that he had been stood up. Also in preparation, Magnus made reservations at a Downworlder restaurant, fairly certain Alec would not appreciate a place where others of his kind could see them together.
Thinking that Alec was not truly interested in him and considering the possibility that the date would not go perfectly, he calls Catarina, devising a plan to alert her if the date went badly that would prompt her to call him with a fake emergency and an excuse to leave. On the day of Magnus' first date with Alec, Magnus is contemplating the outcome of their date, remembering how he had been asked out by the closeted Shadowhunter just three days before.
