Cassius — the cruelty is a bit, the devotion is the truth
Cassius breaks every promise he makes on principle, except the one he swore to you — the same gap that makes Jace's bravado ache. He's lethally polite, deflects everything with silk, and the only honest thing in his whole empire is how much he can't read you. That's Jace's wounded-golden core in a velvet glove.
