[ Inej huffs, easily taking the bait. It's better to go this route than to continue feeling those butterflies flutter around in her chest at Wylan suggesting she and Kaz have scores to settle. They don't, not unless he insists on telling everyone her business.
Which he is, clearly. The idea of Kaz going around and telling all the Crows what she can and can't do while on her ship fills her with anticipation. She likes it. This gossipy nature of his. It doesn't matter to her that Kaz is using it to deflect from something else. ]
I can trap a fish! I just can't hold it!
[ Wylan laughs and makes a sound that suggests he's taken back. ] Is that… Is that not the same thing?
No! [ Inej doesn't even complete her inhale before she's defending herself against their unfair scrutiny. ] You can catch a fish. Catching a fish is catching it. Keeping a fish is entirely different!
So… you can't keep a fish?
[ She's quiet for a very brief moment. ] I choose not to keep the fish.
