[ inej has never posted on the network, before. indeed, she prefers to just linger in the back, and meet people in person. and when she does use the network, she does so sparingly. to reach out, collect information, and then leave.

but this feels different. and, truly, she is only doing this because kaz won't. and nina and matthias may have made friends here. they deserve to know.

so: ]

Nina Zenik and Matthias Helvar are gone.
Back home. If what the Witch says is the truth.

[ saints, this is hard. ]

To those who went outside the city, what have you found so far?
Are you safe?

[ anything to avoid talking about their absence. especially nina. ]

[ she is already on her way, slipping through the halls of the lodge that they're in. cognizant of the fact that kaz issued a one word answer, likely furious, as he has been since arriving here. but inej pushes it out of her mind, instead moving toward their room.

she doesn't knock, when she arrives, simply enters the room as silently as always. and while on most occasions, inej would linger by the window, or create some amount of distance, she instead sits next to him on the bed, quiet.

idly wondering what to say.

and, in the end, inej says nothing, and instead just rests her shoulder against his, in a silent ask for support.

losing nina and matthias hurt far more than inej thought it would, even though she has always known it was possible. ]
