Maybe Eddie had been mad, but Magnus could help the smile that crept onto his features. He thought it amusing, in that no real harm was done but someone had to suffer a little kind of way. And it wasn't as if Jamie had been purposefully avoiding Eddie; it just happened.

The question, though, caught Magnus slightly off guard. On the one hand... a kiss had nearly ruined everything between him and Alec. On the other, this was different.

"It's mistletoe," Magnus said, a touch dismissive, though he could understand where Jamie was coming from. "It's the city messing with us, once again. I don't count anything like that as being a true kiss." He paused. "Alec probably wouldn't free anyone from the mistletoe, except under duress. But I helped one or two people and I don't feel guilty about it."
