❦ Nina Zenik ❦

I'm everybody's favorite heartbreaker, a drama queen in the best way possible, and the second-most dangerous woman I know. Don't mess with me or mine, and we'll get along just fine.

Ah Nikolai! Welcome, hello

@mal-the-tracker

Hello, Mal. How’s your wife?

[mal-the-tracker]

Alina's been good. How's your wife?

[the-korol-rezni]

Zoya’s just as well.

[mal-the-tracker]

That's good to hear

[thisishowtobeaheartbreaker]

why is no one asking how MY wife is?

[the-korol-rezni]

I was unaware that you… had one…?

[thisishowtobeaheartbreaker]

thats why you have to ASK, nikolai

[the-korol-rezni]

Ah Nikolai! Welcome, hello

@mal-the-tracker

Hello, Mal. How’s your wife?

[mal-the-tracker]

Alina's been good. How's your wife?

[the-korol-rezni]

Zoya’s just as well.

[mal-the-tracker]

That's good to hear

[thisishowtobeaheartbreaker]

why is no one asking how MY wife is?

[the-sharp-shooter]

Rumor has it you once slept with Nina, just to see if it worked. True or false?

secret third option

@thisishowtobeaheartbreaker

[the-korol-rezni]

How on Earth is there a third option

[the-sharp-shooter]

shouldn't you be, idk, ruling ravka??

[thisishowtobeaheartbreaker]

oh, there's a third option

[catbayunthestoryteller]

The most unappreciated crow is actually Nina. And I mean in canon, not just that the fandom reduces her to a flirty waffle eater. They all did their parts, but Nina did 110%. Inej was Kaz's ace up his sleeve because he knew how to use her. Not even Kaz could anticipate what Nina did. Nina was a miracle worker. Nina performed what Kaz couldn't think of when his plans went to shit. Nina literally revived Kaz and restarted his heart (I'm not gonna touch the fact that oddly enough that was Kaz's first kiss and Nina breathed life back into him.) Nina took jurda parem and saved them all. Nina survived jurda parem and still went on jobs for Inej. Nina controlled the bone dust and saved them again. Nina raised the dead to catch Inej when she fell from 20 stories high. Nina brought the King of Ravka to their side for their plan. We know Kaz sees Inej as a saint but Nina was the guardian saint of the group.

None of these were anything anyone could've asked her to do because it was physically impossible and she still did it. And then she just left. The crows keep in contact with Inej and drop everything to aid her, but what about Nina? In King of Scars, she's in disguise and misses the crows, but what about after the dust settled after Rule of Wolves? Zoya and Nikolai are in regular contact with the crows, but what about Nina? She now permanently wears a different face and body, she has nothing left of her old life, she pretends to be someone else 24/7. Can she not have her friends? Do they just not think about her?

She spent a year working with the Dregs. They've been through so much together. I'm sorry but Nikolai and Zoya randomly befriending them (thanks to Nina!) makes less sense than them not keeping in contact with Nina.

...this take has my HEARTY approval

[thisishowtobeaheartbreaker]

[the-true-bastard-of-the-barrel]

Cuz I’ll chew through your fucking cane if you don’t. And get Inej on my side for help. I am a very large rat, so you can’t exactly kill me easily. Besides, I think all your friends would agree with what I have to say.

@the-captain-wraith @the-sharp-shooter @thisishowtobeaheartbreaker @sunshine-bombs-n-arson @the-matthias-helvar

I summon thee.

-The Evil(?) Rat of Wisdom

No you will not.

She will never help you.

Challenge accepted.

No, they don't.

[thisishowtobeaheartbreaker]

[thisishowtobeaheartbreaker]

[the-true-bastard-of-the-barrel]

Sorry, I meant rat. It’s confusing me. Please ignore it.

[thisishowtobeaheartbreaker]

[the-true-bastard-of-the-barrel]

I crave to fix your hideous haircut

It is not hideous.

[thisishowtobeaheartbreaker]

(ghezen please please PLEASE let me fix it i'll wear gloves i won't touch you i swear but PLEASE let me help you out)

[the-true-bastard-of-the-barrel]

…I’m taking offense to that.

(Why. What would you do to it.)

[thisishowtobeaheartbreaker]

no no no do not take offense it's just the top. the sides are fine i just don not know why you insist upon leaving the top so floppy

just trust me on this brekker alright?

[the-true-bastard-of-the-barrel]

It’s easier to manage.

Why would I trust you?

[thisishowtobeaheartbreaker]

it will actually be easier to manage if the top is shorter i promise you

also you can trust me because i'm your friend??? i'm not going to intentionally make you look bad that would be so mean???

[the-true-bastard-of-the-barrel]

Edit in honour of you & Inej properly communicating for what I can only assume is the first time ever

-🌷

Thank you anon. That is quite sweet.

We do communicate properly a lot. @the-wraith-official

[the-wraith-official]

Yes. Just usually not publicly but in dingy rooms with floors that creak on purpose.

[the-true-bastard-of-the-barrel]

You made that sound like an innuendo.

[the-wraith-official]

Nobody will ever think that you take off your coat in front of me, let alone your other clothes. And they'll be right in that thought.

[the-true-bastard-of-the-barrel]

That is quite rude. I take off my coat in front of you. And my hat… so you can fetch it for me.

[the-wraith-official]

See?

[the-true-bastard-of-the-barrel]

It’s something.

[thisishowtobeaheartbreaker]

didn't you strip in front of her one time. @the-captain-wraith i feel like i remember you telling me this at a sleepover one time

[the-true-bastard-of-the-barrel]

I have never done such a thing.

[thisishowtobeaheartbreaker]

i will find where i wrote it down, i know i did because it was just too good to be true

[thisishowtobeaheartbreaker]

HELLO HELLO I AM ALIVE HELLO

(i keep forgetting abt this blog omg i need to revive this)

@the-true-bastard-of-the-barrel by the WAY inej showed me some of your guys' letters

holy yearning my brother you have it BAD

[the-true-bastard-of-the-barrel]

I don’t know what you mean, Nina. I do not have anything “BAD.”

(Nina shut up I’ll buy you waffles if you shut up.)

( @the-captain-wraith why’d you have to show Nina of all people. I’m never hearing the end of this)

[the-captain-wraith]

They weren’t that bad. And Nina’s my friend, of course I’d show her.

[the-true-bastard-of-the-barrel]

They were bad if you knew how to read them. Well yes, BUT Nina is also Nina.

[the-captain-wraith]

I know how to read, Kaz. And what are you trying to say about Nina?

[the-true-bastard-of-the-barrel]

I never said you didn’t. She’s just….Nina. There’s nothing much to describe her as.

[thisishowtobeaheartbreaker]

EX-CUSE ME? actually, you're right, there is nothing to describe me as, because i am the most indescribably awesome person ever

also by buying me waffles like how many waffles are we talking

otherwise im doxxing your soft side and there's nothing you can do to stop me

[the-true-bastard-of-the-barrel]

I am fully aware of the fact as you keep reminding us at the ungodly hour of 1 am.

How many will get you to be quiet about this?

I have no soft side; I’m Dirtyhands for a reason.

[thisishowtobeaheartbreaker]

if you have no soft side, why are you bribing me then? what don't you want out there, huh Kaz?

[the-true-bastard-of-the-barrel]

It’s not a bribe. Must I be bribing you in order to buy you waffles?

[thisishowtobeaheartbreaker]

....yes. kindness? for no reason? not kaz, somebody's brainwashed him, who are you and what have you done with the real kaz brekker?

[the-true-bastard-of-the-barrel]

Привет, Каз! Хочу узнать, научился ли ты уже читать на равкианском. Наверное, нет — ведь у тебя плохо с языками.

(it's nina btw it wouldnt let me switch the blog off my main so i did it anon)

Hello Nina.

I have learned to read Ravkan; it comes in handy. I just refuse to ever write it or speak it, I may be a bastard but I’ll be dead before I butcher a language.

Also, I am wonderful at languages. What ever are you on?

[thisishowtobeaheartbreaker]

Jeg er veldig overrasket; du er ikke god i språk. Hva med fjerdansk – hvordan står det til med fjerdansken din?

"I may be a bastard but I'll be dead before I butcher a language" calm down sir it is NOT that big of a deal, but I do respect the respect

[the-true-bastard-of-the-barrel]

See that one I can not read, but that is not my fault.

[thisishowtobeaheartbreaker]

Dè tha thu a’ ciallachadh le "chan ann ortsa a tha a’ choire"? Cò a tha gad chumail bho bhith a’ leughadh Fjerdan? ’S e Kerch a tha seo, dìreach airson fios a bhith agad.

(ooc: i'm using google translate for all of these PLEASE correct me if i'm wrong alas i speak none of these languages)
