"I told him that things just get posted to the network sometimes," Alec tells Magnus. "But not always, so sometimes people can get away with keeping things quiet, at least for a while. If they want to. Just not usually for long."
He shrugs at Jace uneasily. "It's not. But you control what you can - who you contract with, where you work, who you ... make quota with. Who you're friends with. It's not ... it's not perfect Jace. Most of it can be crap. But not everything."
The name didn't mean a lot to Alec, other than what Jace had already told him about her being his sister, but he shrugs. "I guess the city doesn't hate all Shadowhunters."
