Magnus had been genuinely surprised when Alec had agreed to attend the party, and then genuinely grateful when he had actually walked in the door to Izzy's apartment. A part of him screamed to take this at face value, not get his hopes up, but the quieter, stronger voice filled him with hope. Maybe this was the beginning of the end of his grieving.
That Alec ended up holding up a wall with a glass of water didn't faze Magnus. It was reassuring. But he approached with caution all the same, careful of whatever mood Alec currently found himself in.
"Whenever you feel like leaving, we can." It was an offer he would have made at any party, really.
