Shifting his attention to his dinner, he took a few bites while considering what might work for matched items that they could exchange. "They'd have to be something that wouldn't get caught in a fight." He was thinking aloud, considering what might work. Izzy didn't worry about those possibilities but Alec was more cautious. "Unless you could do something with magic to make that more difficult?" He knew that Magnus could cast spells on jewelry but not what was possible other than the one on Camille's ruby.

Pretending he didn't notice his husband's reaction to the thought of costumes, he took another sip from his glass. Swallowing harder than needed when Magnus suggested possible outfits. He was about to automatically say no, and then reconsidered. No, he didn't want to wear things like Izzy did. He wouldn't be comfortable in the fashions she wore, but he kept thinking of those shorts Magnus had worn to the party.

"You like my gear," he offered, still trying to decide on his feelings toward the second half of Magnus' suggestion. "I like how you look at me when I wear suits." If Magnus considered suits as sexy on him as Alec did when Magnus wore them, then that was something he wanted to explore. Taking another bite, he worked over the rest carefully, trying to phrase his explanation the right way. "I liked some of the things that you wore for Halloween. I wouldn't mind trying things like that, but I don't want to dress up as a woman."
