JACE
He sighed a little at her question, giving her a critical look. Such a question defined her weakness - her need to be part of a group and not on her own. It was only natural, given how often and readily the adults in their lives had abandoned them. But with surety he shook his head. If he left without warning it would be because he had no choice. Beatrix had secured her spot in his heart long before the Eirachi had encased it in layers of ice. She needn't worry about his loyalty.
But at the mention of Loren and Neron he raised a brow at her. Were they dead? It sounded like it from how she phrased it. Not that it terribly mattered. Jace had only vague memories of Loren and Neron...well...he had reasons for not being particularly fond of him. Moreover..."It's always just been us." he said with a shrug. Mother had been crazy. Neron was self serving. Loren was unreliable. And Edrei was dead.

Love is fake.
Just ask my parents.
