[ He curves his arm around her middle, pulling her a fraction closer. In a moment, he'll want to move. If only because right now his head is resting against the backboard.
But she's so comfortable he doesn't want to shift just yet. And having both legs stretched out feels good. ]
We could start planning what we want to do with those empty rooms. [ Mostly, they've been working on the rooms that already have some sort of purpose. It couldn't hurt to think ahead, though.
Sighing, he does let her go (for now), moving to slide deeper under the covers. Before he lies down, he picks up her hand and kisses the palm, liking the familiar roughness. She's used to gripping knives and handling ropes all day, wearing away at the softness that the rich mercher wives aspire to.
He much prefers this. But then, there isn't anything about Inej he doesn't like. ]
[ he kisses her palm, and she wrinkles her nose a little with a smile. and she lets him get comfortable before she slides down next to him. she typically drapes her legs over his, but she doesn't do so tonight. instead, she turns on her side and takes his hand in hers, kissing the back of his hand before she rests her head on the pillow, thoughtful. ]
Maybe a library.
[ that would be nice. they really do have a lot of rooms . . . ]
[ He lies on his back for now, legs still stretched out. Normally, he'd stay like this, with Inej curled up next to him, her legs draped over his lap. But it's probably not a good idea right now. Eventually, he'll roll over away from her– his good side, right now– to lie a little more comfortably. ]
Library is a good idea. I do have some books I can add. [ Language ones, mostly. He'd gotten them when he'd been studying Ravkan, which still isn't nearly as fluent as he'd like to be. There's also a few heavy tomes on very specific money laws in Kerch. For reference, of course. He's memorized a lot of them. ]
Two beds are up there, but they don't have to stay in the rooms they're in. [ Man, it's really hard to fill so much space. ] Maybe we can ask Wylan what he did with all those extra rooms.
I don't think Wylan really planned what he did with all the extra rooms.
[ as she runs her fingers over the back of his hand. inej is sure he left most of them alone, and he has a lot of sitting rooms. got rid of anything that reminded him of his father. and moved on with his life.
still, she closes her eyes, exhaling slowly to fully relax into the mattress, letting her mind drift to begin to go to sleep. ]
It's hard to think of things when I have everything I need.
[ Well, she does have a point. Wylan inherited his father's holdings—every last kruge—after what they'd done in the Church of Barter. Most of the house had already been decorated.
But then, that had been a few years ago, Kaz knows he's made some changes. Not only to account for his own taste (and to be rid of things that reminded him too much of his father), but things for Jesper and Marya. As far as he knows, Colm has his own little suite as well, for when he visits.
He supposed it must be easier to fill a house when there's more than two people in it. Especially when it's two people who never really wanted much to begin with.
Kaz turns his hand under hers, giving it a light squeeze as she starts to drift off. ]

A guest room or two would probably be smart.

Good night, Inej.
