"The mark made it so we could draw upon one another's strength in battle and it gave us the ability to sense each other at all times. Had Va... had my parabatai died, I would have felt it the moment it happened. It makes the runes we draw on each other stronger as well. It's not a common mark, most Shadowhunters never have a parabatai, but those who do... well, it's very special." And it's why he still sometimes aches for the loss of Valentine. They had moved and fought as one unstoppable force before Valentine had turned on the Clave and Jocelyn and every single person he had ever loved.
Luke knows he doesn't see it that way, which makes the pain harder to bear. Valentine was only ever trying to protect them all in his own weird, twisted way.
"The tea is fine as is," he says a moment later, offering a smile. "Thank you." At the mention of books, his smile grows and he shakes his head. "I think we might be hard pressed to find a copy of the Gray Book in Darrow, but I suppose it's not impossible. I'm actually working toward opening my bookstore here. I owned one in Manhattan."
