“Kaz always has his reasons,” murmured Inej.

Inej pitied the boy who might die alone with no one to comfort him in his last hours or who might live and spend his life as an exile. But the night’s work wasn’t yet over, and the Wraith didn’t have time for traitors.

i have already seen someone shitting on nikolai’s actor?? you all should be grateful it’s not tom felton

I find I can’t stop moving. Sometimes it’s because I feel like I have to keep up with you, and sometimes it’s because I feel like I have to keep ahead of the others.

GOOOOOOOOD MORNING BARREL DISTRICT

Oh, good to hear! A minute is all he really needs. Him and Fledgling are coming to his office now, be ready.

Jesper is all smiles for this occasion, excited to show Kaz. He’s setting the kitty down right on the open spot on the desk. “I have something entertaining to show you. Fledgling and I have been working very hard on it together.”

She’s very happy to see him, it seems. Kaz is hard to hate if you’ve got no reason. Fledgling has none. “I very well did. A couple of them. She’s very motivated by snacks, I really resonate with it. We can show you if you want to see them.”

Absolutely never going to happen.

Not everything in life has to be a necessity, silly. Have some fun with it, it’ll do you some good.

Well, I hope you know how proud I am you were created with the courage to unlearn all their hatred. God, I hope that you're happier today.

“He was afraid for you.” “Kaz isn’t afraid of anything.” “You should have seen his face when he brought you to me.”

And the night that he died for nothing, I was sitting right up there, all alone, beating my hand bloody against that stupid door—screaming to the heavens asking what I should do. And then a light went on. I thought it was a sign. But it wasn't a sign.

“This is foolishness,” Inej said. “I’m fine.” “You are,” replied Jesper, “but I may keel over at any moment, so pay attention.”

“No mourners.” “No funerals.”
