[ On all points, Inej could only agree. Most days, she enjoyed the company of all the boys in their own way. Jesper's infectious excited energy, Wylan's out of place but refreshing gentleness, Matthias' steadfast and strong nature that saw them through so much. Even Kaz, Diryhands himself, had his moments that made the girl remember why she was still loyal to the Dregs.

Currently, however, she wanted to strangle him for something he'd said and as a result was done with the lot of boys as a whole. They were just infuriatingly dense some days. All of them could take a long walk off the shortest pier in Ketterdam as far as she was concerned. So Nina has found herself in good company for complaining.

I'm pretty sure you like eating waffles more than most things, Nina. [ said affectionately, a small smile curling at the edges of her lips. ] Not that there's anything wrong with that. I think we're overdue for a waffle date, actually.

( nina perked up immediately at the mention of their waffle date, going from slumping to sitting up properly, touching a hand to inej's arm, eager and already excited. it was true she liked eating waffles more than most things, a thing she did not shame herself for in the least, but doing so with a dear friend doubled the pleasure.

especially if they could rant about boys as they did, and, you know. maybe flirt a little.

just a little.
)

We should go. Ditch these boys and have ourselves a feast! I bet we'll be better at taking each other out on a date than any of them could ever be.

[ How could Inej resist such a smile? So genuine and excited, all just for her. That touch doesn't go unnoticed either; in fact, the girl's smile only grows at it. She's always been appreciative of Nina's shine but in this moment, however fleetingly, she thinks she wants nothing more than just to see Nina so happy around her always. That she'd do just about anything to keep her as content as possible.

Just a little flirting. It's an admittedly an enticing prospect. It's not as if any of the boys - besides Jesper, with his natural charm - could flirt their ways out of a paper bag. She'd practically forgotten what it was like to be flirted with at this point. It hadn't been a priority, hadn't been important. Though she doesn't think it'd be such a bad thing to be reminded.

That sounds perfect, [ she agrees. ] They might even learn a thing or two from us.

( nina's smile only grows at inej's responses, and she gets to her feet, holding out a hand to her. not that inej needs help getting up. it's an excuse to hold onto her a little longer. )

I think they're hopeless, personally. ( yet the fondness in her voice says otherwise. she would die for any of her friends. this may have started as some heist, some arrangement, but nina loves them all with all her heart. in which inej holds a special place. )

Utterly, [ Inej agrees, though there's no shortage of fondness in her own tone.

There were times she wondered why she was still loyal to The Dregs, what kept her here. She knows - and maybe she had always known, somewhere in her heart - that it was because it wasn't just The Dregs. It was the few of them, the people she cared for most in the world. Especially for Nina, she thinks. For her, Inej might really just do anything.

She reaches to take hold of Nina's hand and hoist herself up. And even after she's standing, she doesn't actually let go of the other girl's hand.

I'll let you lead the way.

( nina is secretly so very pleased that inej didn't let go of her hand, as she had every intention to hold it. it feels like somewhat of a privilege, to be allowed this in the first place.

it's not many who could put a hand on the wraith and keep it.

but it's not about that. it's about inej being one of her very favorite people and wanting to let all the affection inside her chest out in the world in any way she can.
)

I know just the place, ( she whispers conspiratorially, tugging inej along toward the door, out into the streets. the smell of the city fills her nose, but it's inej she smells most of all, pressed at her side, shoulder to shoulder. ) They do towers of waffles.

[ Not many left to live to speak of it, for certain.

It isn't easy for Inej - holding hands, simple superficial softness - but Nina somehow made it feel almost effortless. With her smiles and sweet disposition despite her soldier's history, it was the perfect type of dichotomy. Nina wasn't the only one feeling privileged.

She allows herself to be guided along, content to stay close. Her skin feels soft despite how hardened Inej knows she is.

Entire towers? I'd ask who needs that many waffles, but it looks like we do today.
