Brynne started to take things slow after leaving the Institute infirmary, but slow also meant checking up on Magnus. Who on the outside was doing good and his new hair and make-up displayed it, but Brynne knew him. She knew that his outer personality was his armor and when needed he'd amplify it.
Brynne on the other hand after going through something life-changing meant she changed that around her. So after watching Magnus put on his make-up she went back to her apartment and started to bring things down from her walls so she can paint them. It's why when there was a knock at her door she answered so quickly, glad at the surprise visit from her boyfriend.

"Mon ange, lovely to see you," Brynne smiles moving to the side so he can walk inside, and when he does he closes to door while leaning in to kiss her
"I should be asking you that. You shouldn't be out on your own with all these attacks taking place," Brynne worriedly says having heard the news of a Shadowhunter showing up dead with claw and bite marks all signs pointing that a wolf did it. What added all Downworlders to be suspects is when two other shadowhunters appeared dead one drained by a vampire and the other lanced by a Seelie knight.
"Well, I'm not on my own. I'm here with you," Alec compliments before turning away from Brynne and walks towards the living room noticing all the moved and covered furniture along with paint supplies, "A body was found in Williamsburg. Have you heard anything?"
"No... while I am a warlock doubt they'd report their crimes to me," Brynne laughs knowing no one would be stupid enough to tell her their crimes
Alec turns back to face Brynne mustering up the courage to look at her when saying, "Brynne, I need your hair. It's just a strand for a DNA test to clear you"
Brynne couldn't help but scoff as she blinked away her disgust at the task, "I didn't realize I was a suspect needing to be cleared off. Do you not trust me?"
"Of course I trust you." Alec quickly and honestly replies before giving her the reason why he was even asking "I know you had nothing to do with this. It's just this is... It's Clave orders"
"Wow" Brynne slowly lets out pursing her lips and letting out a pop before saying, "So you're just gonna continue to blindly carry out orders? What happened to following your gut?"
"Ryn, Shadowhunters are being slaughtered," Alec tries to reason as if the subject was something needing to be reasoned with, "I'm just asking for a strand of hair. Let's not be overdramatic"
