[ Sure. She's a particularly kinky virgin ... Not really. ]
No. I just grabbed what I recognised basically. A whip, some sword things, a box of throwing stars. [ She shrugs. ] I also managed to get the Grey Book. You know the ones with all the runes? I'm thinking I might be able to amp up the power of everything I've gotten. I know we're not fighting demons, but surely adding strength to anything is worth it.
[ Sturmhond’s already nodding. He lifts his shoulder in a
shrug. ]
Anything that gives you an advantage is worth having. Your runes will
certainly do that, and you said you hadn’t learned all there is to know
about them.
I just hope I don't accidentally set anything on fire. [ She pulls a face, a frown crossing her features. ] Normally there's a tutor that's supposed to check you don't get anything wrong. If I use the Grey Book I'm learning something I don't actually understand.
[ A pause. ] Maybe we should buy a fire extinguisher from the shopping channel. You can set me out if I burst into flames.
[ Sturmhond nods, looking thoughtful and serious. ]
Possibly. Or, to save on delivery, I could dump you into the nearest snowbank. I’m here to help, Clary, don’t worry. I’ll not let you burn your own hair off.
Now. [ He stands up, touching his hand to her shoulder. ] I'm going to have to excuse myself, at some point. I have some other souvenirs to deliver, and I'm going to get an earful from Alina if I'm not quick about telling her I'm back.

It's made of electrum. Demons hate the stuff. Though I guess people who aren't demons wouldn't like being strangled with it either.

Interesting little tool.
Have you used it before? I didn't think you were the strangling type, somehow.

You’ll never have a better time to start.

[ She grins at him, prodding him in the side before making her way to his rover door. ] God, you're the worst guy. I'll see you later.

[ He smiles at her, while moving towards Alina's dresses. ]
I'll see you soon, Clary.
