Quote by Cassandra Clare

Nice work in there, Herondale, setting the place on fire, Gabriel observed. Good thing we were there to clean up after you, or the whole plan would have gone down in flames, along with the shreds of your reputation.

Will's exaggeration and humor shine through as he fabricates a desire for scandal and low companionship to further emphasize the absurdity of his statement.
