It still feels odd, somehow - to have people outside of his little knot of people who matter. To have friends. The twins are old enough now that Inej feels more confident at home alone so Kaz is back to spending slightly more time at the club. It's a quiet night, someone he trusts on the bar, so he texts Marcus and asks him if he wouldn't like a drink and a catch up.

It still feels baffling to actually care, but here they are.

He settles in the office with a bottle and two glasses and waits for his friend to arrive.

"Oh, especially your children," Marcus agrees. "Terrible, the both of them. Don't know how I do it, utterly adoring them. It takes a lot out of me, you know."

He's no one's father. Rather, he's Sabrina's, or as close as he thinks either of them are capable of and he loves every moment of it. But he'll never have a baby, never raise a toddler. He's perfectly comfortable with that.

"It's hard to be someone's Opa, I bet," says Kaz, and he's definitely smirking now as he stretches out his legs and takes a swallow of his drink. Kaz never really expected to have family outside of Inej. It's still dizzying sometimes.
