Matthias: *Whispering* Y/N. Your grip is going to cut off the circulation to my arm.

Y/N: It’s called affection. Try to look like you enjoy it. You look like you’re about to be executed.

Matthias: This is a mockery of a sacred vow.

Y/N: *Turning her attention back to the people and giggling* Oh, darling, you’re just shy! Tell them about the first time we met.

Matthias: It was… stormy. She was a force of nature. I thought she was the most infuriating, vibrant, and beautiful person I had ever seen. I still do.

*Y/N blinks, genuinely taken aback and speechless for a moment. Her grip on his arm softens from a performance into something real.*

Y/N: *As they walk away* That was… that was actually rather perfect.

Matthias: *Allows the smallest hint of a smile* I have been told I am a dedicated student.

Kaz: *Watching from a few feet away* Saints, they’re going to give me a toothache.

Little Y/N: But why would you just give them away? You should trade them.

Matthais Well, it's about sharing...

Little Y/N: No, you trade the two apples for a secret or for information on where to get more apples. Kaz said you should never give anything away for free. He called it 'leverage'.

 Kaz: *Catching Y/N* Watch where you're going. 

Y/N: Thanks, you saved me. 

Kaz: *Grumbling* I just prevented an unnecessary injury, that's all.

Kaz: Standard formation. Predictable. Anything else?

Little Y/N: There's a really angry goose.

Kaz: I'm sorry, a what?

Little Y/N: Over there. By the pond. It's looking at us with its neck all stiff. Nina says that's how you know it's chosen violence.

Kaz: We are not factoring a goose into this plan.

Little Y/N: You should. It looks like it has more fight in it than that guard who's falling asleep.

Jesper: ...They're not wrong, Kaz. That is a very aggressive-looking goose.

Y/N: Kaz. You're here early.

Kaz: I was inspecting the locks. This is a public street. Anyone could walk in. 

Y/N: That is rather the point of a bakery, Kaz.

 Kaz: Don't be facetious. I'm talking about before and after hours. I've taken the liberty of speaking to one of my men about watching the alleyway at night.

 Y/N: You've hired a guard for my bakery?

 Kaz: *Refusing to make eye contact, inspecting a hinge on the door* I've ensured an asset is properly secured. An establishment frequented by my Crows will not be a vulnerable one.

Y/N: I don't trust him when he has that face on.

Wylan: Neither do I.

Kaz: Good. That means you're both learning.

Aww, thank you! I'm all out of quotes at the moment but I'll definitely be getting some more up again soon.

-----------

Y/N: police wants me to testify because I witnessed an accident today.

Kaz: Yeah? Were you close?

Y/N: ...Yeah.

Kaz: How close?

Y/N: ...

Kaz: Y/N.

Y/N: I caused it.

Kaz: No. No, that's not true.

Kaz: It's Jespers fault as well.

Jesper: Hey!

Matthias: Why? Is it working?

Y/N: Of course it's working!

Matthias: *Taking the coffee pot as he walks by* What if you don’t.

Y/N: No you're not, it's just a bug stop being such a drama queen.

Y/N: *Feels Jesper's forehead* Wow, okay you really are warm.

Jesper: You could almost say I'm ho-

Y/N: *Whacks him with a pillow*

Little Y/N: Not accidentally! Everyone knows it's mine.

Kaz: ...Whoever insidiously and with great malice aforethought abducted Y/N's favourite toy, confess, repent and relinquish so we can leave.

Wylan: If we can't, we're at the center of the blast radius so we won't feel a thing.

Jesper: Well, that's comforting.

Nikolai: Come on, have a little faith. With a dashing hero like me on the case, how can we fail?

Y/N: He is dashing, you have to give him that.

Jesper: I can’t believe you just walked up and talked to Kaz without getting so much as a glare! Most people can’t even look in his general direction without some kind of threat.

Y/N: I mean it would be a little weird if I couldn’t. We are engaged after all.

Jesper: ...I'm sorry, you're what?!

Y/N: Thank you.

Kaz: I have no room in my life for people like that.

Jesper: *To Wylan* I'll tell you what, I am incredibly clever.

Y/N: *Opens the door*

Jesper: ...How did you do that?

Y/N: It wasn't locked.

Jesper:

Wylan:

Y/N: Neither of you thought to try the door?

Jesper: It was supposed to be locked.
