When Alec finished arranging the deal with Lucifer, he knew that his family was not going to be happy with what he did. It wouldn't matter that they'd have more space than they had in Wayward Pines and that they could decorate any way they wanted. Even Lucifer's agreement that magic was allowed wouldn't make up for the fact that Alec had made a deal with a Prince of Hell to get an entire floor of a building to be their new 'castle'.

Knowing how everyone would react, Alec kept the name of their new landlord to himself while he showed everyone around their new quarters. Beautiful view, a stunning kitchen, luxurious bathrooms that should make both Izzy and Magnus happy, even the balcony that Alec had wanted for Magnus. With a little work, it could be perfect. There was probably enough room for a piano, if they wanted one.

Looking around the space that he could easily imagine as theirs, Alec looked at his family, knowing there was no easy way to make the deal sound less terrifying, he went with simplicity, the words coming out in a rush. "We can have any floor we want except the penthouse and the floor beneath it. I thought this one was the best of the ones that are available." That didn't sound too bad but he hadn't really explained the part that would have everyone furious with him. Absentmindedly, he began rubbing the heel of his hand, glancing from one member of his family to the other, wondering which one of them would explode first when he finished his explanation of their new living arangements. "There's a nightclub on the first floor. The terms of the lease are fair. We can easily afford it, but at first you're not going to be comfortable with who our landlord is. His name is Lucifer Morningstar."

Before anyone could say anything, Alec held up a hand to stop anyone from arguing with him immediately. "None of our souls are in danger. He's not going to attack us. All of you can talk about it and then I'll answer whatever questions you have." With that, Alec moved out of the main area, heading toward the kitchen, giving his family some measure of privacy while they tried to process the idea that the Devil owned their apartment building.


(ooc: Set up so the group can talk among themselves or yell at Alec privately or in groups.)

"That would sound like a challenge if I hadn't already succeeded," he replied with a solemn nod to match Alec's tone of voice. "Or if it's a challenge to succeed again, at least I'm armed with a wealth of knowledge in how to tempt you back into my clutches." Grinning now, he smoothed his palms over the broad expanse of Alec's chest as he leaned a little more heavily against him, not out of necessity but a desire for proximity. "As always," he said in lieu of an explicit promise to ward their home against anything and everything he can manage.

Magnus was keenly aware of the french doors thrown wide open behind them, allowing any one of the younger Lightwoods to come out onto the balcony and discover them. It was a little disheartening, knowing that his teasing could only remain at that, but he knew that there would be plenty of opportunities for them to enjoy the fresh air together at a later date; Alec had effectively tempted Magnus into agreeing to the lease. "As I recall, it was I who chased after you and was lucky to finally win your attention," he replied with a soft press of a finger to the tip of Alec's nose.

Eyes tracing the path of Alec's tongue, he leaned back almost imperceptibly to put enough space between them to show his words didn't actually match to any real intentions. "Perhaps we should rejoin them and gain some truly uninterrupted time together tonight, hm?" he suggested, running a hand through Alec's hair to comb it back into place. It was incredibly difficult to keep his resolve, especially with Alec swearing, and Magnus added a curse of his own beneath his breath. "I'm trying to be a responsible adult, my love, but you're making it so difficult," he said without a hint of true ire. "Yes, I was implying that we should go meet our landlord now to finalize the paperwork so we can all move in soon." Stepping back, but not before kissing Alec once more, he tugged on his hand to draw him back inside.
