Do I have a curfew now?

[greedalwaysworked]

Hardly.
But you know you were here before I was.
Noticable you seem to have just disappeared.

[solmate]

I haven't moved out yet.

I mean, I have no plans to.

[greedalwaysworked]

Yet? 🤔

Good to know.
I'd miss having you around if you left us all the sudden, Sun Saint.

[solmate]

Even if I come with complicated dog custody arrangements?

[greedalwaysworked]

Even if.
And I'll have you know if you leave, I'll be requesting visitation rights!
I love Ponchik
best buddy

[solmate]

Well at least I'll know someone will take care of him if Nikolai and I ever up and disappear.

[greedalwaysworked]

Yes, absolutely.
I'll take him in if something crazy happens & Kaz can suck it.

[...]

Don't tell him I said that.

[solmate]

I'm absolutely going to tell him that.

[greedalwaysworked]

Why do you hate me?

[solmate]

Oh don't be dramatic. I can't hate you, Nikolai will be jealous.

[greedalwaysworked]

I don't think that's how it works.

[solmate]

Oh, I haven't told you why we broke up have I.

So I assume you know by now I don't actually die.

[ She's going somewhere with this, she promises. ]

[greedalwaysworked]

Nope, you didn't and it seemed rude to ask.

Yeah... I mean, I don't know the story of how the hell you managed to survive, but that's sort of the point of legends, I guess.

[And like it or not, she is a legend.]

[solmate]

Well, I didn't know that. It seems like a reasonable assumption right? Saints tend to be martyrs rather than get happy endings. Inej thought so too, because I did a rather convincing job of faking my death I guess. And I enjoy a nice retirement and get married to a very sweet boy in the countryside.

Nikolai, in a magnificent display of protecting the male ego, just... decided to neglect this fact for several months.

So if something that hasn't even happened yet (and frankly seems unbelievable considering the last time I saw that boy he was kissing Zoya Nazyalensky of all people) makes him jealous enough to lie by omission for months, who's to say what other strong feelings might have the same effect.

[ And yet she's woken up in his bed more times than she probably should for someone she claims to not want to be romantically entangled with anymore. ]

[greedalwaysworked]

All Saints and your Aunt Eva.

[That is...a lot. A whopper of a lie to keep. What the hell else is he even supposed to say?!]

Thus... complicated doggy custody.

[Nailed it.]

[solmate]

Thus the complicated doggy custody.

[greedalwaysworked]

I think that's fair.

[solmate]

Admittedly it would be less complicated if I wasn't coming from there right now.

[ Jesper's getting all the hot gos today. ]

[greedalwaysworked]

Feelings are like spider webs. Once you touch them, they just get everywhere.

[Messy bitches unite, tbh.]

[solmate]

Ugh.

[ Ugh!!! ]

Now that I've been all gross and honest, I think I deserve something in return. Hear any rumors about the king of Ravka?

[greedalwaysworked]

Agreed.

Like what?
Do you want me to make something up?

[He hasn't really been in the gossip circles, Alina, what do you want from him!]

[solmate]

Sure. Someone else told me he gets married to Zoya Nazyalensky, and I figure it can't get more ridiculous than that.

[greedalwaysworked]

I haven't heard that one, what? Seriously?
Who told you?

[solmate]

Someone who is not usually known for their honesty.

Would it be that ridiculous? Having a Grisha queen?
