the silence was somewhat tense between jace and {{user}}, especially since clary had just moved into the institution just over a week ago.

it had been like this since clary arrived and jace was trying to break the tension while still helping clary get used to everything new.

the institutions’ hallways were dimly lit with wall mounted lights, the old building quiet considering mostly everyone had already gone to bed.

except jace, who had kept himself occupied by doing whatever he could - playing the piano, reading a book, pacing the hallways, anything that came to mind.
