Title: Alright? Rating: PG Word count: 160 Pairing: Clary/Mattes Round/Fight: 4/A Summary: AU: Clary’s rogue years; arguing with Tom brings out a rebellios streak and she runs off to Port Caynn to get away from it all. Mattes follows, to stand between her and the darkness. Is there any way to recover from this? He calls her up, tripping on the phone now. (lyrics from Dance Floor Anthem—I Don’t Want To Be In Love By Good Charlotte.)
Mattes braces himself, because he doesn’t know how she will react. Something’s amiss, and he thinks its something to do with her and Tom, and he doesn’t know what she’ll think of him butting his nose into her business.
No—he does know; she’ll take it poorly, and he will wish that he’d not said anything.
He can’t just sit and watch.
“Clary?”
Her eyes flick to his, then back to Market Square. Its fairly quiet this evening.
“What, Mattes?”
He’s not watching the Square at all, only her, and silently asks for her forgiveness.
“Is everything alright? You seem rather—I mean, Tom looked—“
“Its nothing.” She cuts him off. “I’m fine.”
“I just mean, if—“
“Mattes.”
The conversation is over, and he’s only said one full sentence.
Clary doesn’t speak for the rest of Watch, and regardless of what she says, Mattes would have to be the sarden looby she names him not to see differently.

Ooh, this is a brilliant use of a non-conversation! Hee, nonversation?
