[ Tomassen confirms that Kaz had mentioned enjoying this Inej's company and...while she's pretty sure he hadn't used those words, exactly, she does smile a bit. There's still a nagging worry, at the back of her mind, about what this girl is like. Kaz is very selective about the people he lets into his space, so she knows she shouldn't be so worried. Especially not now that their son is a grown man.
But, she can't help it. She's seen what happened to him when he put his trust in the wrong person, how it had taken so many years of work to even remotely come close to recovering. Granted, he'd been a lot younger, when he and his brother had naively trusted Pekka Rollins. The worry sits on her tongue anyway. ]
Of course he is. You remember how long it took him to say he considered you his father. [ His prickly, seemingly standoffish nature was his armor. ]
I could always ask him to. [ She says, pensively stirring her stew. It's rare she invoked the mom card in this way, because she knows Kaz would bend over backwards to make her happy; she would never think of abusing that. ] I'd like to meet Inej.
[ And, after a moment more of nudging her potatoes around in her bowl: ] Is it silly of me to worry?
