a memory crosses her forefront, quick as lightning in a stormy sky, but her mind feels clear. inej quirks a slight smile, the curves of her own lips curling upward. the yearning within her for home feel more like an echo rather than an insistent ringing; she sees her path carved out in front of her now. get a ship, garner a crew, greet the waves, and save lives. the dream still feels fragile, like she’s toying with it in the palm of her hands before she decides to greet with with closed fists.
she feels a chapter closing on ketterdam, a place that inej has grown to call her new home. it’s not where she is born, but it is certainly where a part of her has been cut from the cobblestones in the streets. “someone close to me would tell me that when fear arrives, something is about to happen.” her dark optics looks to where kaz stands in the other side of the room, and instantly her heart mourns their friendship. is she scared? when she takes to the sea, what will become of them? perhaps she will take a whisper of him with her. perhaps she will always pray for him. “we never know if it’s good or bad.”
