[ Her nose wrinkles and it's just proving his point. Though he knows, just like himself, it's hard to take such a compliment. Even if it may be the truth.
Still, he believes it wholeheartedly. He's with her because he likes her for who she is. That includes the argumentative and stubborn part of her. And despite how aggravating that can be, he's glad those are parts of her personality. He's not sure how well he'd deal with someone so willing to leave him unchallenged. ]
My view is firmly in reality. Even when you've fallen asleep during a documentary and started drooling on my sleeve.
[ it's not a sharp rebuke whatsoever; in fact, it's pretty clear inej is holding back a grin. she has definitely been guilty of nodding off in the middle of a documentary. whether or not she drooled, inej wouldn't know to say. she suspects he's making that part up.
possibly. it's hard to tell when kaz is lying, sometimes. mostly because he hasn't really lied to her, though from what tomassen has told inej, he used to be quite the hellion. and likely still is, in some respect. just not to her. ]
You should really wash your pillow nightly, by how much you mumble into it.
[ She's clearly enjoying the banter though. He can hear the grin in her voice, leaking through. ]
Besides, I'm not the one that leaves a small cat behind with all the hair.
[ Truthfully, she doesn't leave too much of her hair about. But even a little seems a lot, simply because she has so much of it. Not that he'd ever dream of asking her to cut it. For one, it isn't his hair. And for two: he loves it. It's tempting, so often, to run his fingers through it.
There's something safe about touching her hair as well. For them both, since they're still learning what makes the other uncomfortable. Even as they work on getting over those hurdles, bit by bit. ]
[ so there. though the comment about her hair sparks a real laugh, and inej tips forward just enough to brush her lips against his, amused. warm with affection. ]
Maybe I should shave my head.
[ she says thoughtfully, brushing his hair out of his eyes (due to the fact that she messed it up, but whatever). ]
[ He leans in when she brushes her lips over his, returning the small kiss. There's a smile turning up the corners of his mouth, amused by her laugh. ]
Won't you get colder faster? [ She's tends to cuddle up quite close when they're on the couch. Especially when winter had settled into Ravka. ] Don't need you getting frostbite on your ears.
[ she says with a grin, leaning forward to kiss him again, though she lingers for a moment or two, soft and gentle as she presses forward. and she pulls away just enough to run her fingers along his cheek, expression warm. ]
I have you to warm me up.
[ obviously. and to support her, and comfort her, and love her. all these magical things that inej hadn't had, before she met him. what a beautiful happenstance, meeting him in that bar was.

Then you wouldn't need to worry about stray cats.
