Summary
It would be a very gentlemanly thing to do, she thinks, to offer his jacket to a lady, but for the fact that it’s a muggy midsummer evening and no extra layer of warmth is needed.
He’s not being a gentleman, she decides, as she follows him down to the canal where he’s untying one of those funny little boats. He probably just doesn’t want to be seen taking a moonlit stroll with a whore.
After being rescued from the nightmare of the Menagerie, Inej gets to know her new companion over contract negotiation.
