[He's ten thousand percent sure this is not intended for him, and equally sure he knows who exactly Brekker shares his bed with. But where's the fun in honesty?]

Persuade me.

[ oh fuck.

He rereads the sender twice, a sense of horror dawning over him. Having Nikolai get this glimpse is the most not ideal thing he can think of right now. Furthermore, he swears he sent this to Inej. It's what the outgoing message says on his side, at least.

And yet. ]

No.

Wouldn't want the Ravkan monarchy to form a habit of intimate liaison with the Kerch.

[ It's a rumor but ammunition all the same. ]

"I have it on good authority that the king of Ravka has sent obscurely provocative messages to a certain Barrel rat."

I fear my reputation will be in tatters. 😩

Moreover, you started it. 🤔

[ketterdamn]

That's your defense? "You started it"? Did you ever leave primary school?

[reznikolai]

I did, and quite rapidly at that. It was university that I never finished.

I'm still waiting to hear how you intend to persuade me. 👀

[ketterdamn]

Is that why your Kerch is so formal?

I don't. It wasn't meant for you.

[reznikolai]

You should hear my Fjerdan. 😬

I suppose I'll have to leave the work to my own imagination...

[ketterdamn]

It wouldn't make a lick of sense to me either way.

[ RIP to kaz for being the sole monolingual among the crows ]

I'm sure you'll imagine something suitable.

[reznikolai]

In that case, the outfit you've chosen this morning is positively scandalous.

[ketterdamn]

And you wonder why I didn't believe you were a privateer.

[ "positively scandalous"? what sea-faring person sounded like that ever??? ]

[reznikolai]

You try so hard to pretend like you're not charmed by me.

[Yes, he's being annoying on purpose.]
