Kieran wants Mark to feel something in new ‘Lord of Shadows’ snippet

Cassandra Clare has been treating her fans to lots of Lord of Shadows snippets in the last couple of days and today she’s shared another one on her tumblr. This one features Kieran and Mark:

Kieran gave a soft, impatient noise and flopped down on the bed, among the sheets. The blankets were already flung onto the floor. With his black hair tangled against the white linen, his body sprawled out with no regard for human modesty, Kieran looked even more of a wild creature. “Come with me, then,” he said. “Stay with me. I saw the look on your face when you saw the horses of the Hunt. You would do anything to ride again.”

Suddenly furious, Mark leaned down over him. “Not anything,” he said. His voice throbbed with low anger.

Kieran gave a slight hiss. He caught at Mark’s shirt. “There,” he said. “Be angry with me, Mark Blackthorn. Shout at me. Feel something.”

Mark stayed where he was, frozen, just above Kieran. “You think I don’t feel?”

Very intriguing. I wonder what they did before this conversation and where it’ll lead to.
