“It’s okay. You can say ‘terrifyingly gorgeous’. It’s a curse.” Shrugging it off, he just grinned in turn. He was use to the smartass insults and shots to his pride. After all, he lived with Emerald. Wasn’t anything he wasn’t use to. “So if you think I’m capable of being such a ‘big bad’ villain, why let me crash your place?”

Inej snorted and rolled her eyes. Boys. Arrogant as ever. “I’m not exactly a saint myself.” Shrugging, she walked over to her fridge and opened it. A half-empty carton of eggs and a single slice of bread stared back at her. “I’d offer you a drink, but I don’t know how you feel about drinking raw eggs.”

“I’m sure. I doubt they would put it out like this if no one knew what it meant.”

“Then maybe it’s just not for us.” She dipped her head somewhat awkwardly. “I’m Inej.”

“Yeah…pretty much all I had geowing up was stars. And a pretty sweet veiw of the Earth.”

Inej’s eyebrows shot up. “A view of the Earth?”

   “how is that even possible?”

“Well, have you ever heard of Ravka?”

[Hey everyone,

Replies are gonna be super late because my laptop’s being awful and unreliable, so it works only 50% of the time. I’ve got all my replies up on queue, so sorry if some people end up waiting a week for replies!]

Marie’s smile faded a little. “You mean, the supernatural? No, I ‘ave not ‘eard of people that can do that.” She wanted to add thankfully, but she was unsure if she’d end up insulting the person.

There was a little pang in Inej’s heart. Well, her theory was correct then, and this was a completely different world all together. She couldn’t stop her head from dropping in disappointment, or the downward slump of her shoulders. “Well, alright then.”

“– That just makes me more nervous, dude! What if you’re planning on being the hidden killer?”

“Well, I can tell you now I don’t plan on killing anyone anytime soon.”

     “yeah, i really haven’t heard of it”

“I had never heard of Magnolia either. Or the USA, for that matter.”

“It’s a lot to pick up on,” Padme nodded in agreement. “Not particularly important, no, I just became intrigued by it.”

Inej hummed, studying the paper and its odd pattern. “It does look quite intriguing. Maybe there’s someone else who knows what it’s for.”

“I haven’t really seen you around, but maybe you’ve seen a waffle stand around?” Inej asked hopefully.

“Oil?” Right, the machinery of this world ran on a different resource then his Dust, “don’t stress so much. I wont ruin your lovely couch.” So she did suspect him of being an assassin then. Still, as a general rule, he’d like the bodies to left to be found. Not that he’d say that out loud. He wasn’t about to out his nature to a stranger, especially when he’d already promised Em to try not to kill anyone here. “I think you’re painting me cooler than I really am. Besides, my face is too pretty to blend in as a spy.”

It would be such a shame if the couch, the brown threadbare thing, became ruined. All of Inej’s non-existent guests would be brokenhearted without somewhere rough and stiff to sit. Inej hummed, twisting her lips into a small smirk. “I agree with half your statement. You wouldn’t be able to blend in, but only because your face is too... horrifyingly distinctive.” Inej could still feel the skirted truths dancing in the air, but she was just as guilty.

the memories of gotham, for cassie, were both good and bad. she’d met most of her friends while living there, but being so far from her mother, all the fighting, it took a toll on her. “i did as best as any citizen could.” she lied, giving the girl a small smile. “im only 18..i couldn’t really do much.”

Inej gave her a slightly suspicious look, but took her words anyway. If there was something that she didn’t want to say, then it wasn’t any of Inej’s business. She let it go. “I suppose I was in a similar situation,” Inej mused. “There... wasn’t anywhere I could go, or anything I... wanted I could get, so I did what I could.”

“oh, i see. that’s how it is for most people around here.”

“Is that how it was for you as well?”

[highking-eliot-blog]

“The light pollution around here is awful. Like…you can’t even see half the stars. Not cool.”

[townwraith-blog]

Inej smiled sadly. “Yes. Where I grew up, you could count the stars and see every constellation.”

Her head tilted slightly to the side at the woman’s suggestion to study it further. “Perhaps so, it doesn’t make much sense to me on its own.”

“Nothing here seems to make much sense on its own,” Inej agreed. “Is the thing you’re holding important to you?”

Sensing the irritation and tenseness from the female brought amusement to Anakin. The edge of his lips twisted into almost an arrogant smile. “Indeed.” His response was short, as his neck quirked upward with rigid expression across his gestures. “ However, like I previously stated, pain is different for different species. What may hurt a human body does not necessarily cause pain to say a Changeling. But emotional pain, that is all the same.” With the words leaving the male’s lips, Anakin crossed his arms over his chest, as he took a subtle step forward. 

Inej shrugged, rolling her shoulders. “Damage isn’t quite the same as pain.” She pulled her lips into a thin grimace. “I agree with you on emotional pain, though. People may have different levels of tolerance, but pain is pain.” When he stepped forward, Inej tensed slightly. She set her jaw and narrowed her eyes, but she didn’t move from her position on the wall, although she did shift her weight onto one leg subtly. Inej studied him carefully. She wasn’t quite sure if he was planning on starting a fight, but something about the man seemed slightly... the closest description she could think of was Jasper’s impulsive nature combined with Kaz’s homicidal tendencies.

“It was a sudden change, but I’m growing to... be at peace with Magnolia,” Inej admitted. “I’m free here, at least.”
