Alec was grateful that it was at least not somewhere he was likely to see someone he recognized. Coming out by showing up at Taki's on a date with a warlock was not how he wanted to do that.

He wasn't sure how he did want to come out, but it wasn't like that.

There was a large, graffitied dinosaur obscuring the restaurant's sign, and Alec squinted at it to get a better look, but he followed Magnus in easily enough.

At least, it was easy until the door closed behind them and silence fell on the dimly-lit room. Silence broken by a crash, as an ifrit with flaming eyebrows dove behind a table.
