"I tried to stop him from doing that," Alec said because he absolutely had. It hadn't been a strong protest and Magnus hadn't listened but he had said something in defense of Luke's tea. He thought he owed Luke that, at least.

"I can't even remember what he said to me in response but he didn't listen. Obviously," Alec continued with a shake of his head. When Magnus set his mind to something, there was very little that could stop it. He was stubborn and headstrong and when told he couldn't do something, he liked to do said thing just to prove a point.

"I can replace it if you want," he offered since it was partially his fault that Magnus had tossed the tea.
