#it makes total sense since he doesn't want people to worry about him and fret over him like when he was a sickly child

Thomas is the kind of person to be sick, pretend everything's ok, come to patrol and only go to rest when all his friends are literally forbidding him from it.

#it's projecting but also is not because I feel Thomas would - at least when it's work or family #it makes total sense since he doesn't want people to worry about him and fret over him like when he was a sickly child #and he also has a stupid work ethic where he wouldn't give up on patrols and training even when he cannot even stay straight #it's not like he doesn't take care for himself he knows how to do it he just hates it when his medical condition interfere with his life- #the guy is strong and stubborn as a bull so combined the result is him hesitating to get rest when people are around him at least #tlh #the last hours #tsc #chain of iron #chain of gold #chain of thorns #thomas lightwood #the shadowhunter chronicles
