video ♦ 008 [vision of desire]

[there's a sudden laugh as the camera focuses on two siblings. One is clearly recognisable as Isabelle, covered in her usual amount of black and white tracery, the other recognisable as a slightly older Max, also spotted with Marks. He doesn't have nearly as many - just the basics, in fact - but he certainly looks happy to be sparring with his

[Jensen smiles a little as well after seeing something like that but there is something else that comes out of his mouth when he opens it to reply. There's a surprising tone to it as he realizes something... rather odd.]

Hey... You're back.

[nolessthanseven]

Yeah. I got back a couple days ago. Miss me? [she laughs softly - a rather forced sound.]

[hacksinundies]

[A small smile grows on his face.] Yeah, a little.

[He didn't know the exact details of what had went down but he figures that it probably wasn't best that he didn't bring it up right now. That... video, vision, whatever it was didn't seem like a good topic either. But he decides that it's the lesser of two evils.]

You okay there? You sound like someone just kicked your dog.

[nolessthanseven]

Little brother, actually. But I'll be fine. Thanks. [she tries for a small smile, managing to get the gratefulness into her eyes, at the very least.]

[hacksinundies]

Wait, you talking about Max? Something happen to him?

[nolessthanseven]

[she covers her mouth with one hand, stifling a noise. Izzy's silent for a moment before shrugging, unsure of whether or not to answer truthfully.]

Not here. [she swallows.] Look, it's not a big de-

It's fine.

[hacksinundies]

[Well, that can't be good.]

What do you mean not here?

[nolessthanseven]

When I was gone...I ended up going home for a while.

[hacksinundies]

...And something happened there?

[nolessthanseven]

Yeah. Something happened.

[hacksinundies]

Whatever it is, it doesn't sound like it was a good thing. [A beat.] Sorry.

[nolessthanseven]

It's nothing I didn't already know about.

[his apology draws both a small, weak chuckle - that's not what Shadowhunters say in condolence - and a stifled sob.] I was so close to being able to stop it, though.

[hacksinundies]

Doesn't matter if you knew about it or not... [It still doesn't change how you feel about it. That's what he wants to say but for once his foot in mouth syndrome doesn't seem to get the better of him.]

[nolessthanseven]

[she shrugs, trying to put on a brave face. She's got to live up to the name her brothers have made.]

Yeah, I guess...

[hacksinundies]

At least he's still okay here right? That's got to be some kind of consolation about being stuck in this place.

[It's the best thing he could come up right now. Hopefully it counts for something.]

[nolessthanseven]

Yeah. It is. [and she's being completely sincere here.] As long as we're both here, everything's fine.
