( they know each other, but they don't talk much. it's something alec likes about janus. they don't fill quiet with inane questions, they don't try to pry at him to figure him out, they don't require anything of him. in that silence he's found some sort of unexpected friendship that he's come to appreciate. they have that in common: appreciating quiet, sometimes solemn company.
it does also mean he knows very little about them. he doesn't mind, doesn't need to know anything at all, but it makes the flash of memory as they bump into each other surprising. it's a situation he's intimately familiar with but that takes him aback, in part because of how not familiar it is at all. it's not his, and he's acutely aware that he's not himself, and that whatever he just killed isn't any sort of demon he's ever seen.
a chill goes through him at the strange sensation of being someone else, inhabiting someone, remembering a memory that isn't his own. )
Demon? ( it's all he can think to say, his voice sounding distant in his ears. a raindrop makes it's way into the back of his collar and rolls down the back of his neck, landing where his shirt is already soaked and sticking to his back. it's uncomfortable, and alec wants to get dry, but isn't about to ditch janus right where they stand. )
