looks away!!!!!!!

[ ah, well. could be a worse response, she supposes. ]

That is it.
He seems intent on sowing seeds of doubt among all of us.

[ loud mouth little brat that he is. ]

I trust it isn't effective on you.
Kaz and I have no interest in interfering with whatever game he is playing.
But Nikolai is a fool, and I know nothing about what the Darkling intends to do with Alina.

[ no offense re: nikolai except all the offense. ]

thank u queen

[commandership]

No. I tired of his games some time ago.
I doubt he has interest in toying with Nikolai, beyond his focus on Starkov.

[ how do you admit sankta alina is easily manipulated and the target of aleksander's obsession without directly gossiping about a friend's secrets? ]

[wraithes]

[ she doesn't know a lot about zoya, aside from . . . well, what nina has shared. and what she observed, in ketterdam. and, of course, the stories. but it does strike her a little odd, a ravkan woman referring to sankta alina by her last name.

but, then, she supposes grisha have different relationships with one another, particularly if they were trained within the little palace. or, zoya knows something that inej does not. or, . . . well, a thousand ors, none of which inej is going to ask for confirmation on.

still. it's just . . . odd. ]

But he finds time to toy with me.

[ it is no coincidence, mentioning sankta zoya, to inej. ]

[commandership]

Is he aware of your association with Alina?
Knives aside.

[ it isn't intended to resemble an interrogation, despite zoya's brusqueness — only a working theory. the darkling would sow seeds of discord, she knows, simply to isolate alina for his own use — if not to feed his own arrogance, dangling secrets like obvious lures. a means to remain powerful, when he has lost all importance to ravka. ]

[wraithes]

[ if inej takes offense, she doesn't seem to show it. it's a good question. ]

I don't know whether Alina speaks of me to him, if she speaks to him at all.
But I do spend time with her.

I also make no secret of my beliefs, and I am Suli.

[ and therefore, from ravka, though not ravkan. so -- maybe? it's entirely possible. it wouldn't take a genius to make the connection between "devout suli girl knows sankta alina is here and needs to meet her," and the darkling is hardly stupid. ]
