Wonder how long that would actually be, though? He has an infuriating ability to worm his way out of situations quicker than we give him credit for. [Izzy points out, teasingly.] And I wouldn't put it passed him to worm out of the jokes too, but it'd be fun while it lasted.

[She teases withm a wink before accepting the hug, not exactly sure what it's for, but always willing to accept a show of affection from her brother.

Rolling her eyes playfully, though, Izzy scoffs at his statement.] Have you seen how many opportunities I have to shop? And the work I do with the police! I'm more than capable of filling my time, don't worry about me. [She reassures him, shrugging the concern off.

She liked things about home, but there were far too many things that were in need of change too. And nothing was changing rapidly enough. Here...things are better in some very apparent ways.]

You and me both! [Izzy's been careful about explaining things about being a shadowhunter, but she hasn't avoided the subject. No reason to. There isn't a Clave here to enforce any secrecy - they can speak freely about whatever it is they have the desire to and it's refreshing to just put everything out in the open - so maybe she sort of gets how Alec feels, in a completely different way.]

Here and there. [Izzy shrugs.] Even I still find things that surprise me. [She teases, sticking her tongue out at him, choosing to keep the conversation light.

She's not as settled as Alec. She's not finding it to be the respite and the huge change that Jace finds it. Of the family she is probably much closer in line with how Magnus is handling the situation, and even that is a loose connection. She puts herself out there, but she could stand to do it more, focus on her family less, but that's still going to take time. And is easier said than done.]

You still seem the same to me. You've always been a little weird, but you're still my brother.

[Izzy winks, a smirk on her face.]
