"They want you to believe the sun summoner had been found to finally tear down the wall with the pheonix summoner that divides us."

With the goat in his arm Kaz came across a loathe crowd that was listening to a man on stage. Kaz paused, eyeing a poster.

"How many times have we been fed a story like that? And how many times have we in the West been told to send our sons and daughters through the fold for another year?"The man continues. Kaz than walks forward towards the crowd of people.

"It is time to accept that we need to break away from the old country. Now is the time to form our own country."the pollical leader spoke as Kaz started pushing through the crowds. "Now is the time to form our own country, to keep what we make and what we earn, instead of sending it to the East. For the true Ravka!"

"True Ravka!" The crowd cheered, throwing their fists in the air.

Kaz eyes followed the man off stage as he headed towards a tent that had been set up.
They caught him shaking hands with the Conductor. At the sight of them, Kaz walked away, appearing angry.

Upon walking away he found Inej standing at a memorial for those who were lost to the Fold. On one side contained the names of those who were from the east, and then the other listed the names from the west that had been lost. Walking towards her he calls out her name.

"Inej."He calls out catching the her attention. With her hands behind her back she turns to him and looks at the goat in his arm.

"He's adorable."inej says. Kaz smirks and glance at the goat.

"Don't get attached."he tells her. "I didn't think I'd had to specify no detours to you."

"Even if just a few minutes could end a lifetime of questions?"Inej questions earning a raised eyebrow from Kaz as he walks towards her. Inej lets out a sigh glancing down. "I was making sure her name wasn't on there."Inej breaths out truthfully looking at the boy in front of her who gaze softens.

"She's not dead. I know she isn't. We can't give up on her, Inej."Kaz says. "We've been searching years for her, going to the little palace is our only hope, we can't give up now, wherever she is I know she's counting on us to find her, or at least help her." if Kaz hands weren't occupied he would grab inej hands and squeeze them in reassurance. Kaz may not believe in the saints but that doesn't mean he would judge inej for it.

Inej smiles at him and reaches up to grab her pendant Irina has given her. She had not once taken it off or place it down anywhere, she kept it on. And so did Kaz. Kaz eyes Inej necklace before looking back at her staring into her eyes.

"We'll find her."he says determined. "I promise."
