"You had a little of my trust before you healed me." It went against how Nephilim normally felt about warlocks. They were part demon. They relied on magic. Those things made Shadowhunters uncomfortable even without the usual Shadowhunter elitism. But Magnus was different. Beneath the glitter and magic was someone who had been hurt and had no expectation that anyone would defend him.
She'd seen the surprise in his eyes when she had, her need to protect overcoming her shyness. For some reason, that had started to make her trust him. He'd deserved it. He deserved someone defending him. Though, she would have expected it to be Clary that had said something since she hadn't grown up surrounded by Shadowhunter culture, but then she was selfish, seeing only her own needs instead of wanting to help others.
Or maybe she did think herself better than the rest of them. She certainly acted like it. The only one she seemed to think was her equal was Jace. Even her mundane friend seemed to be thought of as someone beneath her. "And I don't go around randomly stabbing people."
The blush she'd been trying to ignore brightened when he said that he would only treat a few women in such a way and Alec wondered why she was one of the ones that would receive that kindness. "You don't have to. I made it here by myself." Then, she realized that it sounded ungrateful and she really did want him to walk her home. "But I'd like it if you kept me company."
