Jace blinked at Alec, confused all over again. "So. Wait. We are, or aren't, because you're making it sound like it doesn't matter and now it does?" He grimaced. "I felt it as soon as I woke up here. It's why I fought them so hard. I couldn't tell if something was wrong with you or not."

Jace sighed. "So the food, air, water, almost anything can be drugged, especially if it's an event put on by the city, which I'm guessing is usually mandatory in some way anyways? Besides the required... quota," he said, making a face. "I'm pretty sure Magnus is not going to want to contract me, he doesn't like me THAT much. Also, wouldn't that bother you?" Jace asked, confused a little that Alec was so casual about Jace being contracted to Alec's boyfriend. Lover. Dom. Whatever.

The last bit though, made his face go white and his shoulders tense up. "What? What do you mean? What secrets?"
