[ Despite the instinctual lurch in her gut at the mention of a tattoo, Inej's voice is warm. ] Is that so? And who bet that I'd get one?
[ Inej doesn't think to tell Wylan that a tattoo isn't in her future, perhaps ever. He doesn't know, and she's fine with him not completely knowing. Sometimes it's freeing to be around someone like him who only knows her in the after of being freed of that final cage.
The fact that Kaz says nothing about it tells her he's coincidentally on the same page—not that Inej ever thought Kaz would come to her defence. She doesn't need him to. ]
Jesper, I assume. [ She sighs heavily, intentionally dramatic. ] He's always betting against me.
