[ Clary notices that he specifies what he should do, not what he wants to do, and a part of her wants to call attention to it. But considering the sudden awkwardness between them is from her repeating his words, she's not sure she wants to push her luck. Besides, she shouldn't want Bellamy to call her that, not here, not when they could be sent home tomorrow.
(Yet now that she's heard it, now that she knows how good it sounds and feels to have him call her that, she finds it's incredibly difficult to side with the logical side of her brain.) ]
I thought you already settled on a nickname for me, anyway. [ 'Angel' definitely isn't even in the same wheelhouse as 'my girl,' she just feels like she needs to give them an out for this conversation. Maybe if she wasn't naked and they hadn't just had phone sex she'd be less willing to just drop it — she's never been one to shy away from a hard conversation — but she's not really up for it right now. ] One's plenty. Any more than that and I might get a big head.
[ She really does try to keep her tone light and playful but her heart's not really in it. ]
