Inej's Ring

Jesper spotted something glinting around Inej's neck. "Hey Nej, what's that?" he asked. He squinted at her neck, and his eyes widened in surprise. "Holy cow- is that a ring?!"

Inej glanced at him from where she was sharpening Sankta Alina "hmm? My ring? What about it?"

Wylan, who was now watching as well, chimed in, "Where did you get that ring? It looks expensive."

"Well aren't you thinking like a theif" Inej told him with a grin "I got it on a heist."

Nina tutted sarcastically. "Inej, Inej, Inej. I wouldn't take you for someone who wears stolen jewelery. Also I'm not oblivous you're clearly avoiding the question."

Inej's eyes darted around the room and landed on Kaz for a moment before returning to meet Nina's gaze "um."

"I gave it to her."

Nina's gave swiveled to Kaz "you did what? You two are engaged?"

Inej shifted uncomfortably. "Actually..."

Matthias gasped "you're courting?!"

Everyone looked at Matthias like he was an idiot (which he was). "Matthias dear," Nina said. "Do you ever think about what you're saying?"

She turned back to Inej "but you wouldn't have gotten engaged or married without telling me right?"

Inej and Kaz stared at each other "well............"

Jesper fell out of his chair in shock. "How long? When? Where? Why? How? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?"

Kaz glared at him "about a year, two years ago, on a heist, you know why you idiot, and we just had some random dreg who happened to be an officiate do it."

"But- but- but-" Wylan stuttered. "How did we not know? How did that Dregs person not spread the rumors of the crime marriage of the century, Dirtyhands and the Wraith?"

"Because he's dead" Inej replied shortly.

The entire room spun to look at her.

"Kaz has been infecting you," Nina muttered.

Inej gave her a small smile "happens to anyone who spends enough time around him. Just look at Wylan."

"Hey!"

"That was a compliment love" Jesper said cheerfully  

Kaz cleared his throat "we just didn't think it was safe to tell you."

"Why wouldn't it be safe to tell us?" Nina asked. "If I could murder you in your sleep, I already would have."
