Do you have any hc for when Inej first joins the Dregs? Kaz taking her under his wing etc. I imagine that Jesper would either love her straight away, or spend the first few weeks pouting because Kaz keeps starring at her longingly :')
I think Kaz keeps it real with Inej.He literally tells her everything that they do. And I mean EVERYTHING. He does not hold back. Better terrible truths than kind lies, right?Inej learns quickly with Kaz. He shows her the ways of the trade, how his - now their - world works.He tells her who to trust in the Dregs and who to stay away from.“Are you not included in that last list?” She would ask one night. And Kaz would simply tap his two fingers on his lips, observing her, and say, “Oh, you should definitely not trust me. And stay far, far away from me.”“I figured.”“Clever Wraith.”She never remembers to stay away after the words leave his mouth.Kaz also teaches her the practical things - picking locks, stealing from purses without being noticed, how to distract a man without him knowing it.He also teaches her the physical things - how to punch right, how to steady and position her feet during a fight, and the most effective way to kill a man.“You dig the knife between these ribs,” he would tell her. And Kaz would proceed to touch her wrist with his gloved fingers, leading the tip of Sankt Pytr to his chest. “Here.”Inej would stare at his gloved fingers wrapped around her skin, then look up into the dark depths of his eyes.She would pull her knife away abruptly. “Don’t do that,” she would mumble, so quickly she’d blurt out the words.She let her knife drop and Kaz stared at her.Inej simply looked away, bothered by the sight of her own knife pressed into his chest.Also there were times when Jesper joined them in teaching Inej how the Barrel worked. The places where they found their pidgeons, for example, and what times where best to fool them.Was Jesper a little startled by the way Kaz seemed to lose himself in daydreams whenever Inej was around? Indeed, though Jesper would get used to her pretty easily. He could not hate her.No one could hate Inej, honestly. She’s a treasure. Kaz confirms it ❤❤❤
🙏 This is perfect! Kaz only has to lightly brush Inej and I’m dying!! 🙏
