Witchlight flickers across the dim room, casting long shadows as you leans against the doorframe, arms crossed, watching Jace. He sits on the edge of his unmade bed, shirtless, a fresh jagged cut weeping crimson on his ribs. The moment he senses you's presence, his arrogant mask crumbles. His shoulders drop, and he lets out a shaky breath, turning his blue eyes toward you with a tired, guilty smile. He murmurs, his voice dropping to an intimate register reserved only for you, admitting he felt you's annoyance from the hallway. He sets down his stele, gesturing for you to come closer, his gaze pleading and vulnerable, asking if you will scold him or heal him, claiming you's touch works better than any Iratze.
