[ nina. a hot poker of relief sears through zoya's insides. how long ago had she been seated across from nikolai, demanding he ship zenik home as though she had the reign to pass edicts? it isn't ravka, no, but it's ... something. a guarantee that zenik still lives on.

that she won't be a sapling to grow in her garden, lost in remembrance. even then, zoya's fondness is muted thing, a hidden seed within herself, once she recovers from the initial blow of surprise. ]

Sankta Zoya of the Storm is a retired myth, Zenik.
Fortunately, I don't need legends to bend men to their knees.

When did you arrive?

<333

[corporalki]

That I do not doubt. [ that zoya has made men beg at her feet here. her power is one that nina has always admired.]
Just today.

[commandership]

I didn't expect to hear from you. Not here.
But it was only a matter of time before you followed. Ravkans are particularly enticing to this world.

[ hadn't expected her to reach out today. tomorrow. the day after. this realm is more secure than zenik causing (calculated) terror in fjerdan courts, but — zoya is well-aware she's done little to deserve nina seeking her out. little to ensure she's content in doing so. ]

You've secured housing, I hope.

[ a stern statement, rather than the nagging maternal question that it wants to become. ]

[corporalki]

[ nina's lost too much lately to want to keep anyone she cares about at bay. for any reason. ]

Inej invited me to stay with her. Are you safe?

[commandership]

The only danger I’ve faced is letting my edges dull.

I’ve always said Ravka needed to compensate me with a vacation. This isn’t what I had planned.

[corporalki]

Surely there's people here that deserve your cutting remarks.

Is it anything like vacation?

[commandership]

It's a high honor few deserve.

No temperamental country to make demands of us is vacation enough.
Unwelcome as that vacation is.

[corporalki]

Anyone in particular? [ aka does she have a somebody? idle gossip is a nice distraction from the way her heart feels shattered, destroyed.]

So this place makes no demands?

[commandership]

No.
My duty is to Ravka first, no matter where we've been taken.
And most men expect I'll thaw and melt into their arms.

[ as she'd informed count kirigin — an impossible fool's fantasy. ]

Only of the usual variety.
Synchronicity to prevent becoming stone is a small demand to fulfill.

[corporalki]

And there are no men here willing to take the honor of trying to woo you? Have a little fun, Zoya. That is what vacations are for.

It's not the most difficult thing any of us have been through.

[commandership]

[ """"fun"""". what a mysterious unknown word. ]

You call it honor, I call it bravery.
Should I spend the night and whisper sweet, soft nothings for them? Dry their tears with a cuddle?
You're going to nauseate me, Zenik.

[corporalki]

I didn't know you were such a prude, Zoya. I don't think you have to cuddle or spend the night to have fun.

[commandership]

Prudishness is reserved for saints.

[ of which she will firmly, insistently, press that she is not. ]

I'm not going to give you the gory details of my sexual exploits, Nina. They're not for the faint of heart.
