                    ❝    well  that’s  ridiculous .  time  should  realize      WE      are  the  rulers ,  and  we  say  we  want  a  better  ravka       now     .    ❞  it’s  a  glib  response  for  something  that  is  making  him  genuinely  exhausted .  if  he  isn’t  careful ,  he’s  going  to  run  himself  into  the  ground . 

                  ❝    why  ,   miss   nazyalensky  .   i   had   no   idea   you   were   paying   such   close   attention   to   me  .    ❞   she’s   wrong  ,   of   course  .   nikolai   is      acutely      aware   of   how   he’s   perceived  ,   how   people   react   to   him  .   he   should   be  .   he      CRAFTED      it . 

                              ❝      she   is,      ❞   he   agrees   even   though   his   eyes   haven’t   left   zoya’s   face.   ❝         UNFORTUNATELY      ,   however,   i’ve   already   forgotten   her   name.   what   was   it?         verena         or   something   or   other?      ❞

                                    ❝      don’t   ask   me   that,   zoya,      ❞   he   breathes,   something   in   him   barely   contained.   ❝      you   don’t   want   the   answer   i’ll   give.      ❞

❛ I did not lie. As a matter of fact, I cannot bring myself to lie even if I wanted to ― which I didn't. ❜ Cardan reminds the brunette for what probably ought to be the tenth time within the span of the past hour; Tricking, however, has a more accurate tune as to how a Fae proceeds into doing things ― most things ―, although, he highly doubts it has anything to do with him, for he hasn't tricked Zoya either. In fact, he isn't certain what he has done to cause this fit of outrage the second she laid eyes on him in the Crow club. The designation is clear upon his features, as evident by the deep frown and the slander of his lips, but he tries his voice soft, calculating as he then continues; ❛ May I be informed as to what this unforgivable treachery that I committed is ? For, If I'm to be completely frank with you, I am utterly clueless. ❜

❛ I'm a nocturnal person. ❜ Cardan answers with a mere shrug of his shoulders. It's not as though he can't go out in the sun; the sunrays are of no disadvantage other than irritating his sun-sensitive eyes ( for Faeries are known to sleep at dawn and wake when the sun sets ) but sometimes, the Prince just likes to do various activities at night ― like reading, or having a cup of honey milk tea ― as a reminiscent of the life he had in Elfhame, before he was forced to flee from it. Since coming to Ketterdam though, Cardan has come to realise that the Grisha, albeit humans, are far more different than what he has thought of them to them to be; for better or for worse. ❛ I don't tire that easily. Why are you awake in the dead of night ? ❜

❛ You haven't insulted me in an hour. ❜ If he is to be frank, the bar of expectations has reached rock bottom when it comes to Zoya and the non existent way she handles emotions. But if one of them ought to be alarmed, that's Cardan. Is she suffering from a stroke or something ? ❛ I'm concerned about your well being. ❜

He is still new to technology and doesn't know how to put spaces between sentences. it's profound.
