It isn’t. No one else knows exactly the way it feels, when he turns his attention on you and gets suave with his words and starts making grand, sweeping speeches tailored specifically to you.
[Which isn’t this exact case, but she knows Jesper has been in the receiving end of Kaz doing this— and something with some flirtatious edge? Well, that’s just specifically tailored, grand, sweeping speech on a smaller scale, isn’t it?
And from anyone else, it would just sound like talk. The right thing to say in the moment to twist things just enough to get it tilted all in his favor. But he isn’t anyone else, and Inej knows there is no one else but the two of them that know.
So, no, it doesn’t strike her as a weird thing to ask. Who else could he go to about the likes of Kaz Brekker, anyway?]
