I did work for you Shadowhunters for decades, we must have rubbed off on each other.
[ This Jace is very close to the one he knows, but he's never been close to him. The Herondales he knew are all long gone. ]
Unfortunately for both of us, your family and Magnus are all very nosy people. You won't be able to keep them out of whatever you get up to. The Dominant who contracts you will be legally responsible for you, and if that ends up being Magnus, he will be invested.
[ He takes a drink too. He's not sorry he contracted Magnus, but there are downsides to Magnus feeling responsible for him. ]
You have time to meet other people, Magnus particularly has a large network. And you might feel safer with someone from a different world. There's less weight to it.
