[ he holds her closer, seemingly understanding what inej had been trying to say, and she exhales, closing her eyes, soaking in the feeling of his cheek against the top of her head. ]

I will.

[ think about it, anyway. tracking down nina will likely require physically going to ravka, and require inej being away for a handful of months. it seems silly to do so just to ask a personal question.

not for the first time, she wished nina was here. in ketterdam, within arm's reach, like the rest of them. but that was not her path to walk. maybe one day.

but all of this, like kaz said, has no need to rush. it isn't as if they're actively planning this stage of their lives. and so she thinks about that for a moment, before she says, tone a tiny bit lighter than before: ]

I like my alone time with you, anyway.

[ she'll be selfish for a bit longer. ]

[ketterdamn]

[ Whatever she decides, he'll be happy to support her. But, there's definitely time to get the important questions squared away. He doesn't think either of them are ready to even think about adding onto their family.

On a more humorous note, he's pretty sure Asena would strangle him if they decided on having children before he even proposed. Not that the order really matters. It's just the principle of it. ]

What kind of alone time? [ Kaz grins, nudging the lighter mood along. ]

[wraithes]

[ she can hear the grin in his voice, and inej pulls away just enough to look at him. she looks tired, tinges of the memories still clinging to her, despite her best efforts. but she does smile, despite herself, cheek pressed into her pillow. ]

All kinds.

[ murmured, amused. ]

Maybe I like being the center of attention.

[ center of his attention, anyway. ]

[ketterdamn]

[ There's a familiar exhaustion in the lines of her eyes, bad memories having taken their toll. It makes him want to off Heleen in the most painful way possible. But that he'll leave for Inej—she deserves her revenge, in whatever form she decides.

Instead, he presses a soft kiss to her hairline and another to her forehead before pulling away, his thumb sweeping across her cheek. ]

You make it very difficult to think of anything else sometimes.

[wraithes]

[ her eyes drift close at the kiss to her forehead, the feeling of the thumb against her cheek causing them to open again. and inej reaches up to take his hand, shifting to kiss the palm of it. ]

Maybe I am your bad influence, then.

[ a bit wryly, squeezing his fingers. ]

Doing nothing but distract you all day, when you have better things to do.

[ketterdamn]

[ He gives her a small smile when she kisses his palm, mirroring the squeeze to her fingers. ]

You're always the best to do. [ Uh. Well. That's his story and he's sticking with it. ] Besides, we both know you're not the bad influence.

[ How often has she encouraged him to be a better person over these past years? Kaz has lost count. Even though he hadn't believed her for so long, thinking he was irreparably a monster. ]

[wraithes]

[ that earns a laugh, soft and mostly into her pillow, before she pushes herself up just enough to close the distance between them, to give him a soft kiss, her hand finding his cheek, thumb running over his cheekbone. ]

I do like being your good influence.

[ murmured, pressing her lips against his forehead before settling back down into the bed. ]

The best "to do" on your daily list, we'll revisit later.

[ mannerless delinquent that he is. ]

[ketterdamn]

[ Really, he loves that laugh of hers, the sound infectious. His smile widens when he hears it and he returns her kiss with his mouth still curved at the corners. ]

There's been noticeable improvement.

[ She of all people would know. Because while he's still insufferable on occasion, he's not nearly as bad as he used to be. ]

Is that a promise? [ He asks as he curls an arm around her middle, pulling her close. Definitely a mannerless delinquent. ]
