The description made Jace freeze for an instant, panic and worry skittering over his face. It could have been Izzy, maybe, but the handsome, and the fact that Magnus (it had to be Magnus, right?) was mentioned made his heart drop. Because that explained by his parabatai bond had been going haywire. "Alec," he whispered under his breath, pain and worry and something else making him swallow hard. "Damnit." Jace wanted to interrogate Caliban to the tenth degree now, but he forced himself to swallow his questions for now. He wasn't sure how many favors he was already going to end up owing, and he still didn't have his bearings around this place.

The backwards walking made him arch a brow, but he followed anyways. "Hello Caliban. I'm Jace. Definitely not Bright Eyes." He didn't think it was a dig at his different colored eyes, but he wasn't sure.
