[ As Tomassen seems to contemplate, he digs into his food, spooning the saucy rice and meat mixture onto the spiced bread. Jesper would make fun of him, for being such a neat freakāthe bread was meant to be the spoon, on this dish. Mostly, he doesn't want to drip on himself or his father's desk when there's not overmuch space.
(Ok and maybe he is a neat freak). ]
Suli. [ Kaz corrects, knowing there's a distinction. The Suli live in Ravka and are technically considered citizens. But, they aren't typically viewed as such, culturally or in law. Ravka's new king, Nikolai, had made a particular point of mentioning that being something he would rectify. Whether that would happen...well, they would see. It's not as though the Ravkan throne has ever had enough stability to make promises like that.
Hence why a missing Suli girl, trapped in a shady contract, all the way out in Kerch, hadn't set off any alarm bells within the nation she'd come from. He makes a face at this, mouth pressing into a thin, unhappy line. ]
I can ask. Don't know how much she still needs from it. [ And if she did, he'd volunteer to go with. At the very least, send Jesper with her. Heleen might comply just to look like the picture of a rational landlord but, who knows what she would do to toe that line. ]
