This occurs after the group role play, Jace's Return. Sissy comes to visit Jace at his apartment a few days later to check up on how he is healing up.

Sissy: *tugs his sleeve* Jace, can I see your stomach?

Jace: My stomach? Oh, yes...I forgot. *pulls up his shirt with a smile* Healed quite nicely, actually. Better than I thought... *wound has healed, a gigantic scar has taken its place* That's there for life though...

Sissy: Or...undeath...more likely. *traces her fingers over it lightly* It doesn't hurt anymore?

Jace: No...probably will occasionally...most likely on the day it was dealt. That's common among wounds of that particular sort.

Sissy: *hand goes to her forehead* Or when there's a situation that parallels the event...

Jace: Yes. It will give me hell whenever a bloody hunter tries to shove a cross in my face. I suppose I'm more vulnerable to that now. Well, I have this to protect me somewhat... *pulls out pentacle from underneath his shirt*

Sissy: *smiles and runs her fingers over the familiar metal*

Jace: Oh, I just remembered! I have a surprise for you... *rests a hand on her cheek* Wait here...

Sissy: *waits obediently* Do I need to close my eyes?

Jace: *calls from the other room...the one with his infamous collection of blades* Yes.

Sissy: *closes her eyes* 'Kay!

Jace: *enters the room again. Sissy can hear a jingling of some sort. A chain is wrapped around her neck and clasped. It is obvious to her now that is a necklace* Alright...open your eyes...

*she opens her eyes to see a pentacle around her neck exactly like his*

Sissy: *opens one eye a crack, then the other as she lifts it up to see*

Jace: *watis expectantly* Do you like it?

Sissy: *rubs it gently, then turns to face him, eyes sparkling* I love it... but I love you more *hugs him tightly*

Jace: *hugs back* Glad to know...
