Kaz doesn't talk about himself. But sometimes he says things that give the crows glimpses into his life.

They don't realise it often, like when Kaz suddenly knew farm language with Colm Fahej. But sometimes, it's obvious.

They are on a job, a smaller, trivial one. They are still gathering information, Inej, Jesper, Wylan and Kaz, when they overhear their target talking. The man has a rasp in his voice, not unlike Kaz's own and Jesper can't help make a joke of it.

"Hey, Inej. You think Kaz and him are related?"

Inej smiles from the corner where she vanished, at least, Jesper assumes she does. At the very least he knows that she knows what he's referring to.

"Shh, quiet.", Kaz silences him.

"Aw, come on, Kaz. He looks JUST like you."

"If I were ugly, perhaps." Kaz mutters and gestures him quiet again.

"Seriously though. What's with his voice?", Jesper finally says, because it's something he can't ask about Kaz. But he sure as hell can ask about a stranger's ticks and problems, which Kaz would know how to exploit.

Kaz rolls his eyes. "It's from the Queen lady's plague. Must have reached the late stage, when the firepox get's stuck in the lungs. It's nasty business all that scar tissue. Blocks the vocal chords. Now move, we gotta go!"

Jesper pauses. Wylan pauses. Only Inej and Kaz move on from their positions. Jesper and Wylan exchange a glance. Then they follow suit.

Jesper: Where’s Inej?

Kaz: We just stepped out of the shower, she’ll be down in a minute.

Jesper: Alright well… wait did you just say we?

Kaz: What?

Jesper: Did you just say ‘we stepped out of the shower’?

Kaz: … I said she.
