In the Hunter's Moon, Maia is standing behind the bar pouring a drink for Magnus. She wears a small smile on her face as she concentrates on the task before her.

"Thank you, my dear." Magnus smiles and slips a bill towards the werewolf as she passes him his drink.

"On the house for my best tipper." She smiles kindly, about to pass the bill back but Magnus stops her.

"Never trust a stingy warlock, Maia. Not when we have an eternity to acquire wealth." He winks making Maia laugh.

"I'll remember that." She says taking the tip. "What you got there?" Magnus is looking at a handmade charm. It's a silver chain with a small hand carved wolf on it. On either side of the wooden wolf is the words 'Lotova wolves'.

"A gift. Jason carved the wolf, Alisha and Isaac worked together on the words. I remember when they came over once with the brightest smiles on their faces. At first I thought they'd killed someone but then I saw the cutest little bracelet." Magnus smiles as he recalls the memory. "I can't remember the last time someone gave me a gift. I'm used to people making demands." He begins to speak in a different voice. "'Reinforce the wards, Magnus.' 'Heal my broken heart, Magnus.' 'Portal me to Paris, Magnus.'"

"You mean a lot to them." Maia states with a small smile.

"They mean a lot to me too." Magnus smiles but that turns to a frown when he notices a very ill looking Izzy rushing to a guy playing pool.

"Are you Rufus?" She asks, her hands shaking like mad.

"What are you in the mood for, Shadowhunter? Dream gels? Energy powder?" Rufus asks as he plays a ball.

"Yin fen." Izzy states making the man stop and look up with a smirk.

"Dancing with the devil, are we?" He laughs at her perplexed face. "Yeah, I could track some down. Won't be cheap."

"Whatever it costs." Izzy sighs. Suddenly, Magnus approaches them.

"Rufus, my man. I wish I could say it was lovely to see you." Magnus states with an obvious fake smile.

"Magnus, what are you doing here?" Izzy questions.

"The question is, what is Rufus doing here? He knows he's banned from North America... indefinitely." Rufus sighs and leaves making Magnus turn to Izzy.
