In an instant, not exactly inhumanly fast but just unnerving, someone trained within an inch of his life, Jon is back on his feet because Alejandro has grabbed the front of his shirt and hauled him up, slammed him back against the nearest wall. His hand is at the other man's throat, pinning him in place.
"The last person who tried this ruse with me is dead," he says, very near to the other man's face. "So is everyone who ever loved him." Alejandro presses closer, menacing, his anger tangible and his hand tighter on Jon's throat. "Dead by my hands, personally, do you understand?" (There is a significance to this Jon can't know, the way someone who masqueraded as Hephaestion to manipulate him was killed, something apparently awful.) "If there's anyone you care for you might want spared, start talking now. You don't seem to understand-- this isn't happening anymore. You can't have me as your weapon, you can't have Achilles, and this is the end of it. You had your chance to fuck off."
