"That's probably a good thing." She never said mayonnaise was a good colour, just that it existed. And now that Alec has put the thought in her head, all she can think about is a wedding reception menu of sandwiches too. She wrinkles her nose and shakes her head. "Keep out the aged pink salmon, too."
She laughs a little at Alec's determination that the consistency of mayonnaise is apparently wrong. He's always had a tendency to focus on odd things that might not even occur to Isabelle, and she can't say she's ever really thought one way or another about the consistency of mayonnaise. Maybe if she'd had packed school lunches growing up like a mundane child she might have understood.
He mentions wearing gold and Isabelle glances back to smile at him fondly. They've made a lot of concessions since arriving in Darrow, changing tradition and trying to make an effort to live among mundanes. Isabelle even has a mundane job, but there are things about them that are never going to change and she doesn't want them to. No matter what their lives have become since arriving in this city, they're both still Shadowhunters, and maybe no one else in this place really understands that, but Isabelle does and she knows Alec does, too.
"You should," she answers firmly. It's not going to be a normal Shadowhunter wedding for more than one reason, but there's nothing to say that Alec can't still adhere to some traditions.
