Well, Izzy decided very quickly that this guy was to the point. That was followed very quickly by her jaw dropping, literally. Isabelle Lightwood had never met an angel before. She'd never expected to meet an angel, let alone have one willing to talk to her like this. Surely this was some sort of joke? Then again, of all of the things to joke about this definitely wouldn't ever be the best choice. Her brain needed a moment to actually process the information that she'd just heard, and in an uncharacteristic moment Izzy actually found herself mimicking a fish. Open. Close. Open, nope she wasn't ready to talk yet.
Close.
"Gabriel...and angel in the same sentence, that means you're...." Izzy stopped herself before continuing, at more of a loss than she could even explain. Oh lord this was a new level of insanity, even for Izzy. After everything she'd been through recently with the trial and then Jace taking off....she was face to face with an angel. Maybe that was why she couldn't quite figure out what it was she was was sensing, she definitely couldn't put a finger on it. Part of that probably was due to the man-form that he'd adopted, but Izzy accepted the explanation immediately. The only question she had was why would he want to interact with people? That question was followed by an immediate decision not to let that particular series of words fall out of her mouth any time soon.
"Well...that makes sense." She offered, gingerly, making a point to look him over for a moment. "I'm sure we all appreciate the thoughtful gesture not to kill people." Izzy offered, trying to muster up the normal charming voice, but it didn't quite measure up. Shock was a funny thing like that.
She was doing her best to shake it off, though, giving a little toss that moved her curls.
"The fact that Alec Lightwood was talking to someone at a bar sounds pretty major to me." Izzy commented offhandedly, though there was a fond smile pulling at the corners of her mouth, thinking about her brother. "He was wrong, though. Nobody can compare to me." Total bluff. Izzy had a healthy confidence, but the joke came out easily enough, anyway. Did angels get offended by that sort of thing? God, she hoped she wasn't being offensive. "But I'm her, his sister....Izzy or Isabelle if you prefer."
Wow, Izzy didn't like the shocked and awkward version of herself; she made a mental note never to try that again, even when interacting with an angel.
