“Has anyone noticed this whole city is looking for us, mad at us, or wants to kill us?“
“So?” said Kaz.
“Well, usually it’s just half the city.”
@sixofcrowsnet heist: backstory
for the first two years of their education in ravka’s capital, all grisha corporalki studied together, took the same classes, performed the same autopsies. but then their training diverged. healers learned the intricate work of healing wounds, while heartrenders became soldiers - expert at doing damage, not undoing it.

you have your own problems right now, zenik, said a voice in her head. stop worrying about saving the world and save your own ass. sometimes her inner voice could be very wise.

“Knife to the throat?” asked Inej.

@sixofcrowsnet heist 14: b a c k s t o r y > soldier, heartrender, grisha
Nina is a Grisha, specifically a Heartrender. She is also gifted with languages. She’s shown herself to be able to speak Kerch, Kaelish, Suli, Fjerdan, Zemeni, and Ravkan, but she may speak more due to her education and training in the Second Army.
“You’re our chemist, Wylan,” said Nina hopefully. “What do you think?”
Wylan shrugged. “Maybe. Not all poisons have an antidote.”

Jesper expected Inej to laugh and was startled when she took Nina’s face between her hands and said, “Thank you for keeping me in this world when fate seemed determined to drag me to the next. I owe you a life debt.” Nina blushed deeply. “I was teasing, Inej.” She paused. “I think we’ve both had enough of debts.”
”This is one I’m glad to bear.”

“They don’t know who we are. Not really. They don’t know what we’ve done, what we’ve managed together. So let’s go show them they picked the wrong damn fight.“
“When everyone knows you’re a monster, you needn’t waste time doing every monstrous thing.”
