is very well read, and despite how violent or how much he became dirty hands, he always cared about his education because he thought jordie would be proud of him
cuts his own hair in the dirty slat bathrooms because his too afraid of the touch
when he was younger and adopted the name brekker - it took him a long while to get used to it - so when people would call “brekker” he just wouldn’t respond
peppers little kisses on inej as much as he can, because he struggles with long slow kisses
keeps a journal, but uses code names so no one hurts the people he loves
calls inej - “darling”, “light of my life”, “lover” and “sweetheart” quite quickly once they get together
kisses inej’s hair when he can’t stand physical touch
loves saying inej’s name - he’ll often sneak it into conversations even if it’s not necessary because he likes the way it rolls off his tongue
although him and jes fight, kaz secretly has a soft spot for jesper
some dreg asked him about his last name being brekker, and remembering a small brand of drink or something with the same name, and kaz gaslit him into thinking otherwise
trips jesper up with his cane and than gaslights him into thinking it’s just clumsiness
can’t stand being unshaved
calls inej his queen after van ecks imprisonment (we’ll be kings and queens inej, kings and queens.)
when he gets drunk, his southern kerch accent comes out
mutters jordies name in his sleep, until inej finally puts the puzzle pieces together
he loves candles, he likes how the smoke wafts around the room when you blow it out
