[ she fell asleep tucked under his arm in the linen warehouse, exhausted and desperate for kindness upon getting back from van eck. but this is different, being so close, face to face, both of them undone.
she has an impulse, sudden, to dip forward to kiss him. she resists.
instead, she tilts her head a little, gaze still locked on his, as she lifts her arms a little, so he can start to undo it. and replace it with the new bandages, strewn on her lap. ]
The tie is along my back.
[ quietly, still watching him. still calm. he'll need to reach his arms around her to get to it, to untie it and undo it. but she doesn't ask him to move, letting him set whatever pace he deems necessary.
she has learned the hard way (mostly with that damn leg of his) that offering kaz brekker help when he's decided he can do it himself is only asking for a sour mood. or a swing of the cane, if you were anyone but inej. ]
