Come on, merchling. Use your eyes and look around. This is beyond the wrong way.

[the_merchling]

I am looking, Jesper! I'm not blind. I thought maybe you knew something I didn't.

This just shouldn't have happened, right? We shouldn't be here so why are we here? This can't be part of the plan.

[materialnik]

You're handsome when you're smart.

I don't know what's going on, but Grisha aren't trying to steal the blood from my body. That's an improvement. Unless Grisha also did this.

[the_merchling]

[Blushing. So much blushing.]

I'd prefer your blood stay in your body. There are better things to steal from you if someone wants to try.

What are we supposed to do here, Jesper? Just sit and wait. I recognize nothing here. It's -- this place isn't familiar.

[materialnik]

Like what, my sprawling fortune? My secondhand watch? My virtue? Just what have you been planning to lift off me?

I don't know. Inej said I need to be here. And Kaz doesn't hate me, I guess.

[the_merchling]

Nothing! Nothing. Why would I want to steal from you, Jesper? You don't have anything I watch. I was just saying someone might try and steal something from. I wouldn't. I don't want anything of yours.

They don't need me, though. Everyone's made that pretty clear. I'm just the hostage.

[materialnik]

Hey now, don't sell yourself short. You also play the harp.

You're not so bad in a scuffle. For a merchling.

[the_merchling]

Don't make fun of me. It's a hard instrument to play.

Did you have to add that disclaimer? I'm better at demo than you are.

[materialnik]

I'm not making fun of you. I'm reminding you of your many talents.

Well that's a given, but I do so enjoy calling you that. It's more effective for getting you attention than 'Wylan.'

[the_merchling]

No one's ever done that before.

[No one's ever cared.]

Wylan's my name though. Did you want me to go around calling you something other than Jesper?

[materialnik]

What, that you can draw and play three instruments and create a flashbomb? Disappointing.

And we're onto pet names now?

[the_merchling]

Why are you being so nice to me? I didn't think you even liked me.

Merchling's not even a pet name. It's a -- a thing. It's not specific to me. You've probably called other people that before.

[materialnik]

Well, you did save my life. And I'm very overtly flirting.

But I've never called anyone merchling so affectionately.

[the_merchling]

You're not flirting with me.

Are you? You can't be.

And I've never called anyone Jesper period. I like your name.

[materialnik]

Merchling, how many times have I said you were cute when you were smart?

[the_merchling]

[Flustered. Such flailing.]

I thought it was just a thing to say. I thought you'd been appointed the person out of everyone to be nice to me. You or Nina.

[materialnik]

Wylan, if I don't like you, you'll know it.

[the_merchling]

And if I don't like you --

Well, you probably won't care.

[materialnik]

I'd care.

[the_merchling]

Why?

[materialnik]

Because I'd miss the sight of those clever hands of yours.

[the_merchling]

Just my hands?

[materialnik]

And the rest.

I'm not sure I trust this city, I haven't seen a single pancake house.

[the_merchling]

You could always make your own pancakes, Jesper. I'd help you. Make sure you didn't burn anything down.

[materialnik]

I don't have a poffertje pan.

Did your father actually allow cooking lessons? Doesn't the mercher class frown upon manual labor?
