Inej stills. Everything in her, even her heart, goes very quiet for a moment, as Nina can't look at her. Because, she finds, she's not mad or judging her or anything like that, but she is terribly jealous. After all, the words There was no danger have another meaning, and the one that it conjures to Inej is the unspoken I was not planning.
But Inej--for months now, she has been. She's been thinking about it, and how to tell Kaz, and the whole process she would need to consider, for herself, before she's ready to try and have a child.
She finds herself touching low on her stomach, just as Nina looks up, and her hand falls away before it can become talking about her instead of talking about her friend. This must be about Nina, right now. "Do you want to tell him? Do you...want it?"
