I was just thinking about how Kal almost always calls Auri by a term of endearment—be’shmai—and was like what if Auri also had petnames for Kal
Auri: hey baby
Kal:
Kal: I’m nineteen?
Kal: I was bred for destruction and cruelty, I am not a baby?
Also yes I’m aware of Aurora Burning’s ending but in the next book they’re gonna fix it and apologize and make up (and make out—) because I don’t accept otherwise
