Inspired by this post from @manikas-whims where Amita and Freddy contradict each other on how Kanej would propose to each other. Freddy, it seems, had a way less romantic picture in mind than Amita, and if that doesn't perfectly sum up these two...
Inej looks at the paper and the ring laid out in front of her, on Kaz’s desk. The immediate source of her frustration, at the moment.
When she’d imagined him proposing to her, one day in the far-away future, it hadn’t been so... well, so direct.
He was always surprising her, it seemed. Though not always in the ways she wanted.
Trust Kaz Brekker to wring out the romance out of a proposal and do so with ease. On second thought, her flighty fantasies seem like exactly that -- flighty fantasies.
She shakes herself out of her thoughts and attempts to give him another chance to course-correct--
"I'm not.” he says, one brow raised, and he’s got that look on his face when he’s trying to figure out something particularly complex. “You said you wanted to get married one day, right?"
"Do you not want to marry me?" and the flash of sudden, genuine concern on his face damn nearly makes her laugh, were it not so deadly serious in its countenance.
“Yes,” she says quickly. "Yes, I do want to marry you, Kaz,"
"But,” she continues, “you need to ask in a way that makes me actually want to say yes."
“...and what’s wrong with this?”
Inej throws her hands up in exasperation.
