“ when you said you wanted to go to hogsmeade together with me, did you mean like… a date kind of ‘together’? ” — kaz, being oblivious as per usual

The answer is poised on the tip of her tongue. The words the first time had been struggle enough and now the question is almost enough to squelch her courage. The words grate the back of her throat, locked up tight. Her idle hands tug at her sleeves absently, searching for a purpose.
If only she were Nina who would scoff and recommend all the sweet shops he could take her. But she’s only Inej, an invisible girl without the crown of being a pure blood. The heart is an arrow, it demands aim to land true. It is her parents’ words in her mind that gives her the courage. She takes a deep breath, steeling herself for what’s to come and meets Kaz’s steady gaze.
In her heart, she knocks the arrow. “ Yes, that is exactly what I meant. “ And lets it fly, hoping that she has aimed true.
