Smile. 

"Is peace something you'll help me work towards?"

"I'll do what I can. This is already a big step, assuming the rest of the night doesn't go too badly."

"I can maneuver for more than one thing at once," she teases.

"Clearly."

"Peace with Ravka... Safety for grisha... Removing parem... Getting one over on Kaz..."

"I imagine she'll have some choice words for you when we meet back up."

Unashamed grin. "Wish I could've seen the look on her face."

"If Inej managed to see it, she might describe it for you later."

"I'll be sure to ask."

"Just uh, maybe give it a week or two."

Snort. "I don't think I'm getting out of here on the same boat, so won't be a huge problem."

"Maybe not."

"Which boat am I taking?"

"...Whatever you want - I can get you."

"Not that I'm trying to run away from you. But Kaz and the others won't exactly be sailing back to a parade, especially if the parem inventor is dead."

"...I don't want to ditch them either. But - I need to do damage control here. At least for a few days."

"...If they want to lie low instead of leaving immediately, I could help with that, and - I could possibly leave with you all, then."

She doesn't really want to separate from Nina.

"See how hot things are, I suppose."

Nod.

And they'll need to stop Jesper and Jana first - and she takes them the back way through the sector, through deserted halls where they can move at a near run, where they have a lower risk of encountering anyone who'd recognize Trassel.

They make it to the gate in time, at least - before ten bells - 

- And before Jesper and Jana have taken the guards. 

They actually hear Jana first. She's staggering around on one of the walls, singing the national anthem - doing a very good tenor, and an excellent impression of a drunk but talented Fjerdan. Which seems to be successfully distracting all four guards - 

From Jesper, who's lowering on a rope behind them -

...No way he'll take them without killing everyone. 

- They haven't seen her and Nina yet. 

She drops their pulses, and all four thud to the ground after a concerning moment. 

...Her song trails off, startled. 

And Jesper looks around and hisses, "Nina?"

"Jesper. Change of plans. We don't need the gate anymore."

"...Where's Kaz and Inej?"

"Should be retrieving the target about now. Long story short, she," Nina holds out a hand to Feilan, "is actually Fjerdan royalty. And there's a bit of a rift between the leader of the druskelle and the royal family, so we've kinda sorta got the other princess on our side too. As long as we don't make too big of a mess."
