“Um, Jace, can I ask you something? If you want something to happen, and you feel like it could but maybe the other person is waiting for you to give a signal that you're ready - that you're maybe ready - no, that you're definitely ready, maybe, what should you do? In this hypothetical scenario."
There was a pause.
"Hmm," said Jace. "Good question. I'm glad you came to me with this. I think you should go ahead and give a signal."
"Great," said Alec. "Yes, that's what I was wondering. Thanks, Jace."
"Hard to work out signals on the phone," Jace said thoughtfully. "I'll think about various signals and show you when you get home. Like, one signal is for 'there is a demon creeping up behind you and you should stab it,' right? But there should be a different signal for if a demon is creeping up behind you, but I have it in my sights. That just makes sense."
There was another silence.”
