Mangled Ramblings

Where a Suli caravan decided to camp and perform at somewhere near a farm.

Kaz Rietveld, 17 year old, went to the performance with his older brother and their father.

The girl from the Suli family met eyes with him as she was flying from one hoop to another.

Half a second. Merely a heartbeat. But he's certain he saw a smile, she even laughed a little.

It's clear as daylight that this farm boy has never seen a trapeze before.

Inej would think to herself. Trying to explain why she'd smile at a random boy in the crowd.

Yet it felt natural. It felt familiar.

Almost like they had found eachother, in a lifetime before.

this moment in six of crows is a direct parallel to the story of orpheus and eurydice where instead of orpheus turning around rather than continuing to walk, kaz turns to look at inej because he thinks she’s in danger

it’s funny, whenever baby kaz encounters something new, his first instinct is to reach for it with an open palm and bask in the feeling. his da and jordie have made a game out of finding the weirdest new sensations for him to judge: a cold glass of water, a kiss from the cat, bubbly foam, bread dough, a bowl of pomegranate seeds, an earthworm freshly plucked from the ground, the sinewy guts of a pumpkin.

he notices that kaz especially loves his and jordie’s hands—there’s a contrast between his own large, callused fingers and jordie’s smooth, lanky ones (save for a few scrapes and scars from climbing in places he probably shouldn’t have been), and it melts his heart whenever kaz holds onto that skin to skin contact and doesn’t let go.
