The mention of his mortality would have been enough to sour him on a regular day. The mention of his mortality plus the callous (at least that was how Alec heard it) mention of Max's death nearly made him come undone. He couldn't stop the full body flinch, pain and anguish clear in the lines of his body until he pulled himself back together.
There was a shout right on the tip of his tongue, something aggressive and mean, something he wouldn't have been able to take back if he hadn't gotten a hold of himself at the last second and, instead, glared at Magnus.
"I changed my mind. I'm leaving," he said, tone like steel. Magnus had already moved away but that didn't stop Alec from moving himself.
