Alec made a dismissive sound. "You're my parabatai. I felt the minute you showed up. You just might be from a slightly different universe. You're still Jace. Just maybe a difference or two."
The bald statement had Alec blushing, but luckily Jace had already left, so he didn't see.
Alec texted Magnus and Izzy while he waited and hesitated, but didn't text John. It was a longer conversation than he wanted to have in texts.
When Jace came back, Alec pockets the device and watched him, frowning as he cradled his head. "You've got the basics from what they told you. What else do you want to know? The food they serve here in the cafeteria's usually fine - makes the Institute seem gourmet though. But anything at an event or on the street, be careful of. Talk to people if you don't end up contracting with Magnus. Find someone who you can get along with." Alec sighed. "And don't bother trying to keep anything secret. This place knows everything, and once in a while it just puts it up on the network for you."
