They've not told me I can't. But that's not to say I have all the answers.
[ Or any of them, really. Regardless, what happened was within the sight of anyone who managed to look. He'll tell what he can. ]

I don't know if you saw the message from Tess, a few days ago? The one that asked for help with breaking a code.

I don't blame you. I'd have been the same in your position. That's why we made the call.

We didn't know what the code was for, but we discovered that yesterday. The rocks the code was on formed the statue's missing face. The code reset it, no then the power came back on.

I'm not here to coddle you. [ The corners of her mouth twist down a little. ] And I mean, you look fine, physically. But I --. [ She wants to say I know you. He's the one who's looked out for her the most, who's trained her in how to protect herself, who made her be stronger. And Clary trusts him, she does. He's helped her in so many ways.
Right now she just doesn't know how to help him back. ] You're right, you're fine. I'm sorry. I know it's different for you.

[ Mmmm. That feels as good as she imagined it might. She closes her eyes and leans her head back into his hands while he runs his fingers through her hair. He's so light with his touch that she eventually ends up shivering. ]
Maybe someday we can share a rover. [ A very noncommittal suggestion that he can take it or leave it. ]

It was a command code, for a computer. Or at least that's how it seemed. The stone I found had this message:
FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org
It was one of four. Combined, we knew they were made to reset and reboot something. We didn't know what - until the statue activated.

[ He smooths the soap through her hair, letting the water run it away. That suggestion doesn't even make him pause. He smiles, tilting his head to the side, and looking at her curiously. ]
Would you like that? Living together. I thought you might suppose it was too forward. Or moving too quickly. That's why I didn't suggest it.

[ Her cheeks warm as he regards her. Maybe she said that too soon. Or it was too much to expect. ]
I'm always over here anyway. Or you're visiting me.
It'd save on time. [ She shrugs lightly. ]

I'm sorry it's not more. The code itself made limited sense to me until I saw how it had to be used. Even at that, I'd never have guessed the statue was a computer.

I thought perhaps it was mechanical. The extent was a surprise.

It's a good thing I'm gainfully employed.

Honestly, I'm not sure. Some of us had found pieces of rock, across Ajna. They had a code etched into them - you may have seen Tess asking for help with translating it a few days ago.
FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org
We didn't know what the code was for, but when the statue's hands moved, it was clear that the pieces fit into the square shape, at its face. When we put them in, we had to input those codes. That's what stopped it.

[ Different for him than for her, she means. He wonders if that ought to sting. It does, a little. He knows it shouldn't. He leans back against the side of the bunks. ]
It is what it is.
Why did you want to see me, Clary? If it wasn't about coddling.

[ One of his hands moves to her cheek. Despite where they are, despite what they're doing, he regards her quite seriously. ]
I'd like that.
I told you, I like waking up to you. [ Leaning in, he presses a little kiss to her cheek. Just a small one, and then with a smile, he nods. ]
When you're ready, I'll be waiting.
