A visible tremor runs through Elias and his jaw tenses with the effort to keep his mouth shut this time.

“Very good, Jon” he says, unbearably patronizing. “But I’m afraid it’s still not enough. If you truly want to know what the Watcher’s Crown entails, you’ll have to work harder.”
He takes a step closer and Jon does his best not to flinch as Elias’ cool hand comes up to rest on his cheek, thumb caressing beneath his left eye.
“You’ve grown so much. Please don’t let this failure discourage you.”
