That he wouldn't have to talk was the first good news that Florence had received since he woke up.

Was that supposed to be a joke? Because he wasn't finding anything amusing about the situation. But Jace didn't look, or sound, like he was joking. Even if he wasn't kidding about the refinement, it didn't [i]feel[/i] harmless. In fact, he was pretty sure if the migraine was related to this 'refinement', it was the exact opposite of harmless. But thinking into it just made it worse, so he abandoned the train of thought. Nonetheless, he was being asked to do something. It didn't make any sense to him, but he started doing as he was asked, concentrating on the tube and giving his best to block everything else out.

He was slow to respond to the object being thrown, his senses needing a moment to catch up with his distress. Within a foot of him, the test tube started cracking, suddenly taking a sharp turn left and shattering against the wall. It left Florence nearly frozen in shock. 

[i]Did...Did I do that?[/i]

He stared at the broken glass of the test tube for a solid minute before slowly turning his head back to look at the doctor. He was shaking ever so slightly, and realized something - He could calm himself down. He took a moment to do so, sitting up straighter and relaxing his muscles. 

Then, something else hit him. It wasn't anywhere near gone, but his migraine was significantly better. It was nice to not feel as if he was going to vomit, and that he could see clearly. 

He couldn't tell if this answered more questions than it raised, mostly because he was in disbelief over what just happened. There was no way he did that. There was no way that could have possibly happened. But maybe it really did, and maybe Jace wasn't lying when he said they refined him. It was still a disgusting word to him, but if this is what they were referring to...Maybe he would have to learn to deal with it. 

He wanted to start asking questions again, but couldn't find where to start. He was back to giving him a hopelessly confused look, but at least this time he looked much better.
