[ the kiss is soft, and inej grins a little into it before she settles herself to sit next to him, her thigh resting against his side as she gently brushes his hair back, amused. ]

I missed you.

[ she murmurs, ducking down to kiss his forehead, mostly abandoning the towel in lieu of giving him the attention that he had missed all day. they had been living in the house for upward of a few months, now, but she still feels a pang of loneliness, whenever he isn’t at her side. too many long months away from one another has left her a little selfish, when it comes to kaz’s time. ]

I am serious, about a weekend away. [ as she shifts her weight a little, to press her lips against his cheek, before deciding to swing a leg over his hips, finding a much better angle to kiss his jaw. ] I won’t forgive you if you fall over from exhaustion.

[ though she pauses, then, a hand finding his cheek, running her thumb along his face. ]

Exhaustion caused by anyone but me, anyway.

[ clarification is important, as inej presses a single chaste kiss to his lips with a warm smile. ]
