[ Two years doesn't seem like a long time. Well, he supposes it's bordering on three now, if not well past it. Even so, it doesn't feel like a long time and yet he can't imagine who he was before then. Before he'd heard Inej whisper to him in the Menagerie.
Maybe he'd been a harder person, more bitter with brittle edges that cut.
Two years isn't enough time to entirely reform a person, but he feels different. The Kaz that dragged himself out of the harbor would never recognize this one. Would never even dream of how he is now; Inej's face tipped towards him like a flower does to sun, his hand gently curved to her waist. She smiles and it's infectious, one of his own curving the normally straight line of his mouth.
(He definitely had deserved it. Every last rude name). ]
You do. [ The words are out before he can censure and he blinks, clearly startled by himself. ]
