“Well I’m hardly innocent, though I am curious to know what these things you’re referring to are.” Eliza couldn’t help but disagree with the other, she could never put herself in Jaces’ shoes but she could imagine how hard this was on him. “He thought that man was his father, someone who emotionally manipulated him as a young child, he continued to do that to him since his return. I think when you’re in that situation you feel helpless, trying to prove to people that you’re not the same as the blood you supposedly come from, trying to be brave when you’re breaking and trying to do your best despite what people think. If I’ve learned anything lately it’s that Jace Herondale is one of the strongest people that I’ve met. And when you’re dealing with someone like Valentine, nothing is ever easy. Even if you think it was.”
Leo hummed at that, calling the bartender over to get himself another drink. “I don’t really have many run ins with him. When I do he’s not the most friendly of people.” The Shadowhunter often seemed to go out of his way to be rude actually. At least that was often how it felt. “I’m sure he is to you.”
