[ It's a joke! He actually made a joke. A bad one, and at his own expense but still.
Though he considers that next part for a few minutes. ]
And if I am courting you as well? You would still not mind and not be bothered?
[ Spell it out for him, Inej. He is not taking chances that he's going to upset either of them about this since he's still reeling on his own about this becoming a thing. ]
On which level you don't plan that? I'm still in conceptualizing on so many levels.
Though on the friends in other cities, I don't know how long we can actually wait. Or how long Jesper will wait.
Yes. I’m trying not to look like a lunatic laughing at nothing.
I suppose it will.
You know why I had to leave. My people… we don’t think of places, cities, countries as home. Our people are what make our home. My people are in Ketterdam— in Cadens, here— so that is where I would be. Leaving was never going to be forever.
I never denied knowing why you had to leave. I, of all people, understand why you had to. It's why I found your parents, gave you that ship. Your ship. Your freedom. If I could fight for you, help you, I have.
It doesn't make letting you go any easier.
And don't you dare make an investment statement in this moment. You know that is not all you are to me and never were.

[The question brings a smile to her lips— they’ve both asked her now, and it’s utterly endearing.]
[Shes going to take a moment to let that sink in before circling back to the business side of things.]
Fair enough.

[But she's grinning.
A joke. She must be dreaming.]
Kaz, you should know by now I'd never make a move without you. No matter what it is.
I don't know, either. But we can't be rash- and I trust he won't risk them or their safety.

Oh I suspect it always to change, so it will be interesting to see then, I guess.
I gave you the chance to leave, to do what you wanted. We ended up here. I shouldn't assume that means something?
We'll make a plan and see it done. For our sake, for Jespers, and theirs.

Like we always do. No mourners.
