The Sunspire If Approval is what you seek you have to earn it

Jace was not a fool, he knew very well that his sister was infatuated with Sumayl perhaps even in love. He didn't know for she hadn't really told him, preferred to skirt around the question. Granted his sister had been sick and he couldn't really blame her for not wanting to make her nosy brother feel better. Despite what Sumayl thought of him, he hoped at least that the other male didn't think him cruel especially where his sister was concerned. No matter how much he disliked another, he would never stand in his sister's way if she was in love or what have you. And also despite all the tension in the air, he did hope to call the man at least a friendly acquaintance some day. He didn't like the tension and anger between the two.

Jace disliked that the other male thought him an ass and god only knew what else, but he also knew it was his own fault in a way. Granted Sumayl had twisted a lot of his words, whether by design unpurpose or just through miscommunication he didn't know, but it did piss him off a little bit, but he was fighting to get through it. After all his temper was indeed an issue and he wanted to fix that, he wasn't sure if he ever could. And Jace didn't exactly hate the cocky smart ass, but he did dislike how he spoke and acted. It just rubbed him the wrong way, and if he ever, ever spoke to his sister in the smarmy smart alecky way that Jace had come to see him as, he would rip his face off and force feed it to him without a second thought. But he hoped that the other wouldn't do that to his sister. Because after all words hurt much worse than physical blows.

Jace heard his name and skidded to a stop, sliding a bit on the loose snow that littered the ground. He turned his head and looked behind him and his sour mood, if possible went even more sour. Puffing out his air in a sigh and then a snort. Deciding it would probably be best to keep his words soft and quiet and a bit minced he spoke Sure what about? Then he grew quiet and simply stood there waiting patiently, he was pretty sure he knew what this was about. but rather than get his words twisted again he kept his mouth shut.
