Erick saw the glimpse of ink, and was instantly curious, but he didn't want to ask about it and distract Jace from working - he finally was concentrating on the words and it was a relief. Erick hadn't been sure, at first, that his teaching method would work with Jace, but... Once the older man actually sat and paid attention, it was like a fish taking to water.

Erick explained things to Jace when he had too, but he otherwise stayed silent, taking in the other man's features as he watched him work. They studied right up until the alarm on Erick's nightstand went off - a warning that he had to get to his classes soon or he would be late.
