[ It warms her to know that her friends are being looked after. And not just that—that they've been given a second chance. If anyone deserved one, it's them, the girls in the too-small cage. Inej doesn't think to tell Kaz thanks; she knows he doesn't want it, wouldn't accept it, and would possibly be mad that she even felt the need to utter it. But she's grateful that he'd made good on his promise to look after everyone who has been left to die in the gutter in the Barrel.

You'll eat some of it for me, won't you? Delia's so creative, and Tareen likes to have a good laugh. You'll have to make sure you charge what her food is worth, Jesper. It's good even without the booze.
Yes, yes. [ Jesper sighs like Inej is telling him everything he already knows—and that only warms her even more. She wonders what else he knows about them. Knowing Jesper, he's already befriended them and created inside jokes. ] It's fascinating how you're still so pushy even at a great distance.
