Quote by Cassandra Clare

Why can't I go to Idris with you, then?Because it's not safe for you thereO and it's safe for me here? I've been nearly killed almost a dozen times in the past month.That's because Valentine has been concentrating on the two Mortal Instruments that were here. He's going to shift his focus to Idris now. We all know it--We're hardly as certain of anything as all that. And the Clave wants to meet Clarissa. You know that, Jace.The Clave can screw itself.

Why can't I go to Idris with you, then?Because it's not safe

Summary

In this quote from Cassandra Clare's book City of Ashes, the character Jace expresses frustration towards not being able to bring someone named Clarissa (presumably someone he cares about) to Idris due to safety concerns. Jace argues that if he has been targeted multiple times in their current location, it should theoretically be safe enough for Clarissa to join him there. However, the other person in the conversation points out that the danger is shifting to Idris and the Clave (a governing body) wants to meet Clarissa. Jace's defiant response indicates his displeasure with the Clave's demands.
