( 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. ]
( 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.
