she is no longer the trusting girl she had been before the menagerie. now, inej’s trust is given carefully. a limited resource, like everything else in the barrel. but when kaz gestures her over inej obeys almost without thinking, standing next to him with an inch or so of space between their shoulders, and looks down at the map. ( it frightens her: how comfortable all of it feels, plotting murders, plotting heists, and doing it all with the bastard of the barrel. it frightens her, that when he calls she’ll always seem to come. -- does he know this? is this just another weakness, soft spot, that can be opened up and poked into and exploited? but no, she trusts kaz, and she does so for a reason, so inej forces her paranoid thoughts to calm. )
“well?” her voice comes out calm, steely, and for this she is proud of herself. this is the voice of a killer: this is the wraith. “are you going to tell me the plan?”
