Of course. I'll find you first when I get there. And let you know as soon as dates are sorted.
( There's not too much to say after that, not really. Not on that topic at least, not without raising his mother's suspicion. Jace does his best to avoid that.
He avoids the front entrance too, when he arrives later that day and ask the staff to be discreet as he finds a room that's not his own but will suit while the deception is at hand. It's easy enough to shower quickly, to wash the travel off of himself before it's time for supper. The weather's not as warm as Spain, no, but Jace still wears a short sleeve polo for the night. It shows off his tanned skin as much as the new freckles that dance across his nose and cheeks, a feature that make him look more like his mother than late father.
As far as he's been told, tonight his mother does not have any plans. And while he's sure that she means to indulge in a bath and spend her evening in blissful solitude, he's also sure she won't mind the interruption once she realizes it is her son that wishes to wish her away from her hearth.
There's only one thing left to do.
The sun is still high in the sky despite the late hour when Jace stands behind the poor maid he's asked to help him with the deception. She knocks on Alicent's door and gets told off once before Jace hears the movement inside. He sends her off with a quick wave of the hand, having promised he'll make it up to her later. And all that's left to do then is to wait, a smile on his face for the door to open. )
