[There's relief for him agreeing, but it slowly starts to dissipate the longer he takes to say anything else. She waits, pushes some pasta around her plate, waits until it's just too long and she takes a breath to speak--
He cuts in before she can. He cuts in with something she hadn't expected at all for all the build up he'd given it, except she should've done, she knows how big of a step every stage of his relationship with Magnus is for him. Which makes this all the better, that he's made this choice, that he's moving in with him.]
Alec, that's amazing. [She smiles, bright and wide, and promptly abandons her food to come around the table and hug him where he's still sitting.] I'm so happy for you.
[And Magnus, too - she'd have to call him - but Alec always came first.]
[ that's not the reaction he expected at all, a part of him still thinking he would just be letting her down for choosing something like this rather than sticking it out with her. isabelle has always been so supportive of him, though, even when all he did was roll his eyes and give her the silent treatment. there was no reason to expect anything else but her support.
she looks genuinely so happy. alec loves seeing that smile on her face. his hand reaches for her arm as she hugs him, giving it a grateful, relieved squeeze. ] Thanks, Iz.
[ he lets out a short, breathless chuckle. he feels better to have gotten that off of his shoulders. ]
