a crude greeting for a crude city

I’ve always said that my original hardcover copies of SoC and CK are the first things I would save in a fire and now that she has signed both, that is especially true

then this deleted scene happens BEFORE the kanej church scene?????

so this was the headspace that inej already in before the “I will have you without your armor kaz brekker or I will not have you at all” lines tilted the earth off its axis????

and how geraniums are her mother’s favorite flower

and how her father told her the “many boys will bring you flowers” line and kaz *has* taken the time to know her as no one else does which is why his gift to her was a knife (and eventually her ship)

and now in that moment kaz is the one responsible for her mother’s favorite flowers whirling around her

and how inej has just literally been tortured and traumatized by van eck and had to confront the real possibility of her legs being broken and thinking she would be useless to kaz and now she has this beautiful, soft moment with him amidst all of the chaos of them escaping
