if jace was being frank, tatooine reminded him a bit too much of edom. it wasn’t that he was afraid, exactly; he’d been through edom once and easily survived, but... it would take some getting used to. and once more, he was back at square one. jace had just reunited with alec, and now... now, he couldn’t feel his parabatai at all. mercifully -- and thank the angel for that -- his parabatai rune was still black and bold. jace was morose. a little moodier than he would have liked. so much so that he was looking for a bit of a brawl (though that could have also been a bit of the new yorker in him). purposefully, he walked into another, just enough that his shoulder struck theirs, before turning and barking, “hey, watch where the hell you’re going.”
