( yeah, he shouldn't touch her. he shouldn't touch Cheryl, either, and it's definitely too late for that. at least with Clary he has the defense that if he didn't, she'd just walk away... though does he really have that excuse? probably not. he's more than fast enough to catch up with her if he wants to. she wiggles free, and he doesn't stop her, though if she'd tried to walk away again there's a perfectly good chance he would have done it all over again. )
I'm not going to suggest it. I'm going to suggest you go home. ( he absolutely ignores the accusation he's forgetting his own need to stay away from possible infection. either he's given up on the idea of not catching it, or he doesn't care if he does. neither idea is particularly promising. )
Running around isn't going to make this better, Clary. You're going to make yourself feel worse. Argue all you want, but I've seen enough people do it to know. ( he's been desperately trying to piece the answers together, all to no avail, and nobody really knew how bad VIOLET could get — it wasn't smart to push it to the limit before they had any idea what it could do. )
If this needs a cure, we don't have it yet. You could push yourself too far and there will be no way to pull you back. ( he's been sharp, he's been sarcastic, those are all great covers for the panic he can't manage to hide in his reminder of the potential consequences. if Clary gets how dangerous it is to be pushing herself like this, not just for the people around her but for herself as well, she sure isn't acting like it. )
