“If only Simon were here. He could probably bore you to sleep.”

“Oh dear," said Jace..."I hope that wasn't anything important.""It was a sleeping potion," she said angrily, toeing the vial with the tip of a sneaker. "And now it's gone.""If only Simon were here. He could bore you to sleep.”

“I'll walk you back, Jace said. "As for Simon, he can manage his own way back in the dark-can't you Simon?""Of course he can, Alec said indignantly, as if eager to make up for his earlier slighting of Simon. "He's a vampire-and," he added, "I just realized that you were probably joking. Never mind me.”

“You look lousy,"Simon said.Jace blinked."Seems an odd time to start an insult contest,but if you insist,I could probably think up something good”

“Simon?" she asked. "I have a stupid question.""What is it?""Did you sleep with Isabelle?"Simon made a choking sound. Clary swiveled slowly around to look at him."Are you okay?" she asked."I think so," he said, recovering his poise with apparent effort. "Are you serious?""Well, you were gone all night.”

“Not my favourite topic, Smedley.""Simon," said Simon. "if I'm going to die for you all, the least you could do is remember my name."........."Alright, everybody. Get over here. Sheldon's had an idea.""Who's Sheldon?" Said Isabelle.”
