"Just be careful. They get a little touchy if people imply they're like their parents." More than touchy with some of them. Not that Alec blamed them. It wasn't their fault that they were part demon and after centuries of abuse, he could understand why they might want to turn someone into a rat for making assumptions.

"Their magic is just magic in my world. It's not demonic except it comes from a parent. The marks show that they're not completely human." Maybe those who were part demon didn't have marks in other realities. "Wings. Different color skin. Cat eyes." The last was said with a hint of wistfulness.

"Be careful of the quiet ones." It was something Izzy always teased him about... until she'd seen what happened when he had almost lost everything. "Normal restraint disappears when they take the ones you love."
