AREN'T BLACK AND WHITE

Magnus was quite looking forward to today. He and Isabelle were going to engage in a leisurely activity. One that did not emphasize any differences in Shadowhunters and Downworlders. An activity that those from all walks of life partook in. Shopping. It was clear that he and Izzy both had . . . a very distinct style in the way they dressed. He also knew that the male who connected them did not. It was why Magnus was hoping to buy a few things for Alec without dragging him along for even he knew that his partner would not be fond of such a thing.

Though, today wasn't exactly about the shopping. It was more about Magnus wishing to get to know Isabelle. He had seldom spent time alone with the woman and as she was one of the closest people to Alec, Magnus wished to rectify that. A knock at the door alerted him as he nonchalantly waved his hand for it to open. A smile formed on his lips as he saw Izzy enter. "Isabelle," he greeted. "Care for a drink before we depart?" He asked, motioning to where the martini glasses were.

Sometimes it was nice for Izzy to relax and forget about her Shadowhunter duties. One of her favorite things to do was to go shopping and like most things, Isabelle preferred to do it with someone else. Clary would have been an obvious choice but she knew that the girl wasn't overly fond of the activity. She had no desire to bring along someone who would complain the whole time. If she wanted to do that, she would have brought Alec or Jace. The dark haired girl was disappointed with herself, realizing that she had a shopping partner in Magnus. After that revelation, she wasted no time in calling up the warlock and proposing a shopping trip. It was exactly what she needed and she would be happy to do it with her brother's boyfriend.

Isabelle didn't know Magnus as well as she would have liked. For a while, it seemed that Alec was trying to keep him away from anyone else that he knew. Izzy had always known that Alec was hiding something and eventually she had figured it out once Jace arrived at the institute. That love was going to drive him insane so she had been more than thrilled when Alec had found something in Magnus. Izzy didn't care that he was a Downworlder. She just cared that he made her brother happy.

Knocking on the door, Isabelle waited for Magnus to answer. A moment later, the door swung open and she walked inside, smiling at the High Warlock. "Magnus," she greeted in response. Her eyes followed his direction and she smiled at the martini glasses. "Of course. It is our day of fun, is it not?" She quirked a perfectly manicured eyebrow at him. A small smirk played on her lips as she walked further into the room, plopping down onto one of his chairs.

The Warlock continued to smile as Izzy accepted the offer. He knew Alec was not much of a martini drinker but his sister seemed to be of a different taste. "That it is my dear," he agreed, waving his hand over the drink to add a little extra flare to it before handing it to her and picking up his own.

"To the day ahead of us, and all wondrous the adventures it will bring," he toasted, gently clinking his glass to hers before taking a sip. Because . . . well, the trip was bound to be fun. Magnus was quite grateful that Izzy had reached out to him for it. He extended his free hand in a dramatic gesture to further emphasize his next words. "The world is our oyster, Isabelle. Where would you like to start?" Paris? Milan? The possibilities were endless.

Izzy happily accepted her martini, holding it up and tapping the glass against his. A genuine smile graced her lips as she thought about the adventures she would have with Magnus in the future. They were different than the adventures she had while working. That was something she couldn't control, not that she really minded. Being a Shadowhunter had been her entire life and Izzy was good at it. She was skilled and it was something she enjoyed. But there was still something different about doing something carefree and something that had nothing to do with hunting demons. Isabelle brought the glass to her painted lips, sipping at the drink. The liquid was the perfect temperature and she chalked it up to being Magnus' magic that made it so delicious. 

Where did she want to go? There were so many options and she was sure Magnus had a few ideas up her sleeve. "Well, I'm open to suggestions. Do you have any place in mind?" Isabelle had her favorite spots, like most girls did, but she was open to hearing about any places Magnus was overly fond of. "I've definitely been wanting to get some new boots." She couldn't hide the grin from her face at the thought of getting new boots. Izzy was a huge fan of shoes, especially when they had heels.

Magnus slightly cocked his head to the side as he looked over Izzy, taking in her style, his mind quickly playing over the different places he held memory of that would be good for their shopping adventures. Her mention of shoes helped narrow it down. "How do you feel about Milan?" He suggested.

"I can see it now . . . " Magnus continued, slightly turning his body with his hands extended as if to pain the picture of his following words. "The two of us, strolling down Via Monte Napoleone." A wonderful shopping street in Italy. He turned his head to look back at Izzy. "Or we can venture to Champs Elysees in one of the most romantic countries in the world." Though the romance would obviously not be applicable to them. He was merely giving suggestion to the different potential locations.

The idea of going to Milan made her grin. She had never been there before but it was definitely one of the places to go, especially for shopping. Unfortunately her job didn't give her a lot of down time so traveling was usually out of the question. The only time Isabelle was allowed to travel was when it pertained to work and even then, it was usually to Idris or within the confines of New York. "Milan sounds marvelous," Izzy said before taking another sip of her perfect martini. "I've never been. Although I'm sure that's no surprise to you. It's like Shadowhunters don't appreciate the idea of a good vacation or shopping trip." She fake pouted before breaking into a grin.

He suggested another place and it also sounded marvelous, but now Izzy was stuck on the idea of Milan. It was the fashion capital of the world. She always wanted to go there. "Let's stick with Milan for this trip," she said after a moment of thought. "Alec could really use some new clothes . . . " Isabelle said slowly, eyeing Magnus to see if he was down with the plan. She loved her brother but he had horrible taste in fashion.
