"The Mundie's watching," Jace whispered, causing Alec to freeze. The words weren't condemning or in that tone of voice that his parabatai used when he discussed his 'book club'. Jace almost sounded...supportive? What was going on?
Twisting his head so he could look at his parabatai, he was about to tell Jace to move, but the words caught in his throat as Adam sent power from the line into him. His senses seemed sharper and he was sure that he could get away from Jace. But he knew that he'd end up wrenching his shoulder out of place no matter what the ley line power promised.
"Let's give him a show." Before he could answer his parabatai Jace had moved, picking up his favored axes again. Moving slowly toward his blades, Alec grinned. He could usually hold his own with Jace with weapons, but now with the boost Adam had given him, he could win.
The next fight was faster than Alec could normally manage, the two of them spinning around each other, almost playing instead of fighting. They taunted each other, but Jace seemed to become more and more surprised as he had to work toward a victory. Which made it a complete shock when Alec stepped in close, knocking the axes away and lightly tapping his seraph blade against his parabatai's ribs. "I win."
Jace didn't seem bothered by the loss, teasing Alec quietly about the Mundane before grabbing his shirt and heading out of the room to check on Clary. When he was sure that Jace wouldn't come back, he turned toward Adam. "You did come rescue me."
