[ Apparently Alec is not alone on the rooftops. That... never really happened. Like, who else had any reason to be on the roof aside from... eh, chimney sweeps or something? The sudden thumping of footsteps startles the wizard into activating his wards- namely his camouflage, and he practically winks out of existence the second he hears the approaching footfalls. Granted, it's not true invisibility, there's still a slight distortion of the air to mark his presence, but most people either don't know to look for it or don't know what they're seeing when they do spot it.
He spots her on the next roof over, and he's been at this long enough that he can tell she botched her jump as soon as she makes it. He could just let her fall, he supposes. That would save him a lot of trouble.
He ca also hear his father admonishing him for such a line of thought.
God, it's so difficult being him. He drops his camouflage as she lands, closes the distance between them in a few bounding steps, and grabs her by the wrist, yanking her forward. ]
