[ A few shades is putting it lightly. Theres at least a foot of difference between them, which should be more awkward than it is. He likes it though, especially when they're laying next to each other. It makes him feel like he can really wrap her up in a tight hug. ]
I forget she's shorter a lot of the time. [ He admits, having been on the receiving end of her fairly powerful judgment. It's never mattered that she only comes up to his chest, at most. Kaz is fairly certain she could frighten a bear back into its cave by simply looking at it with that expression of disapproval she occasionally carries.
Their relationship has certainly improved over the years, once she acknowledged he wasn't some asshole Kerch dating her daughter simply for her looks. Or as some weird power play. He thinks she sees him as mostly positive now. Maybe.
Tugging on Inej's hand, he leads them down a neat and shadier row of pear trees. And once he knows they're by themselves, gives her hand another pull so she's closer and he can loop her in for a hug. ]
[ asena had initially hated him, but now is positively charmed. or, at least, as close to charmed as her mother will ever be. she still wishes the island of kerch would sink into the sea and inej would move to ravka permanently. and asena hadn't been pleased that she decided to run away with kaz to shu han for time alone after the trial, rather than come to os kervo. but asena at least trusts kaz, now, with inej. and with her heart. that's enough.
inej is about to say so when kaz tugs her close, wrapping his arms around her in a hug. the movement causes a warm smile to brighten her features, and inej wraps her arms around his waist, leaning her chin against his chest to look up at him. ]
[ Her whole expression lights up, warm as the dappled sun streaming through the branches. He wants to make her this happy all the time, for the rest of their lives. Maybe it's a bit fast to think of proposing, but he feels like they've been through so much. And something says that this is it. She's it.
When they get back, he'll ask Sofia for advice. For now, he's going to simply enjoy the time they have here.
Briefly, he tightens his hold around her middle, picking her up slightly as he hugs her. Once she's back on solid ground, he leans in for a tender kiss. ]
Love you. [ He murmurs it against her mouth, pressing a softer kiss right at the corner of her smile. ]
[ he hugs her a bit tighter, and then lifts her up for a better hug. it sparks a laugh as she shifts to loop her arms around his neck, hands finding his neck as he kisses her. ]
I love you too.
[ easily, pushing herself up onto her toes to give him a light kiss. ]
You are in a good mood.
[ amused, as her hands shift to rest lightly against his chest. ]
