There was part of her that wanted to protest his words. She couldn't be that special or rare. There had to be others among the Nephilim who would have said the same things she had. But she couldn't ruin his compliment by denying that it was possible that she really could be like that, to Magnus at least. Not when she couldn't remember anyone complimenting her and it not being meaningless charm or praising her fighting skills.
It was charming, but it was also honest. There were dozens of other shallower things Magnus could have said about her instead of praising her virtue. Smiling at the compliment, her eyes brightened, almost glowing with a happiness she hadn't felt before. Magnus thought she was special, something she doubted anyone else had believed before.
The happiness reflected in her eyes turned to amusement as Magnus described her siblings. She didn't get the Fabio reference, but the comparison seemed accurate about Jace and mirrors. "The best way to deal with Jace is to shove him in a closet and leave him there for awhile." Alec only done it once, but that had been enough to keep him from being too obnoxious in her presence.
It was tempting to say yes to going somewhere expensive, but Alec wanted a chance to get to know Magnus and she doubted that would happen if she was nervous over people throwing them out for not being dressed properly. And, if the did go somewhere like that, she wanted a chance to look nice. Maybe not Izzy's level of nice, but at least not like she'd been beaten up by a demon recently. "Maybe Taki's tonight and somewhere expensive for the next date?"
Scritching under the Chairman's chin, she wondered if she was being too forward, assuming that there would be another date. She wanted one. She already knew that. Magnus might not be like anyone else she'd met, but she already knew she could care for him... if she didn't already.
Her eyes widened slightly when Magnus moved, leaning in to his touch instead of pulling away like she expected. Her breath caught and her eyes fluttered closed as he softly kissed her, smiling softly as Magnus pulled away. "I've always liked cats."
