[ yeah, don't worry, she's fully expecting him to either drift off on the couch again or tumble out the door and take a nap on the porch. close enough. ]
Do you promise?
[ maybe she's approaching this a little too intently, but she can't entirely be blamed for her disbelief. ]
[ she nods, immediately trusting of that promise. he hasn't broken a vow to her yet, and that sincerity leaves her with little reason to question the validity of that statement. ]
Okay. Good.
[ easily placated, maybe, or just more lenient and forgiving toward those she cares about. no great injustice has been done here, anyway, other than a lack of self-care on bellamy's part. ]
So. [ said super casually when the question isn't in the least, but. well, she's trying. ] Are you planning on staying? [ sussing that out feels important, what with the migration back and forth, but it's only after an awkward moment that she knows she needs to clarify. ]
Staying here. [ no, wait. ] Not... here here. [ in her home, with her. ] I mean Wyver.
[ the fast delivery and expression on her face says that she's clearly embarrassed, but the tone of her voice is amused in spite of it. her eyes roll not a moment afterward, unable to suppress it entirely. ]
It's not like I'd mind, but you know that's not what I meant.
[ somehow, hearing he knew that wasn't her intended meaning isn't surprising. she makes a face in his direction, though at least some of the embarrassment has drained from her face, and — as another silver lining — she isn't reaching to smack him in the arm for his teasing. ]
I don't know. Everything I have right now is in Olympia, including my job.
[ abandoning that feels wrong. choosing sides seems even more so with how limited their information is. for now, however, olympia is the more familiar option. ]
War has a way of making you pick sides eventually. [ speaking from personal experience. it's difficult to stay uninfluenced, but — again — they're too naive to the situation for clary to have much of an opinion on fighting a war. if there comes a point where it's a battle worth fighting for, she'll throw her hat into the ring, and only then. ] I'm just trying to do whatever feels right.
[ and, for now, wyver doesn't strike her as right. still, she'd easily follow the people she cares about wherever they want to reside. her loyalty to either side is indifferent, but her loyalty to the people around her is unwavering. ]

[He had to, okay?]
I haven't decided yet. I'm not looking to pick sides on their war. What about you?
