Summary
At nine, she gets four rounds in before being disqualified. She grumbles and groans about it, heads out to the mountains and practices, practices, practices. She’s going to win this. She’s going to show her parents, show everyone, that she’s not incapable, not helpless, not fragile.
The earth sings. Toph moves with it. Practices with badger moles and with random challengers. Falls and skins her knees and gets back up, feels the dirt and the sweat, feels the validation of being treated like an equal, of having people fighting her with their all. It hums inside of her and grows and grows and grows, and it makes her feel powerful.
If her parents ever realize she’s missing, they don’t ask.

Summary
“I got the ugly truth of the Barrel from them. Stories of creatures like this witch Tante Heleen, like Pekka Rollins. Men like Dirtyhands, the Bastard of the Barrel.”
Kaz stayed silent. Inej’s father blinked slowly.
“Kerch sailors fail to mention that Dirtyhands is a teenage boy.”
“Kerch sailors aren’t the most reliable of informants.”
“So I am discovering.”Inej's parents try to figure Kaz out. Kaz does not enjoy being dissected.

Summary
“Hush. Let him speak, my dear.”
Bewilderingly, all the breath seems to go out Kaz at once. He slumps back, almost boneless, into his chair as Wylan begins to explain the physics of night and day. At first, Inej is pleased with her victory, but something about Jesper’s grin is far too conspiratorial for her liking.
She peeks over at Kaz, who is very clearly trying to avoid looking at her. Slowly, in a manner of scheming she has learned from Kaz and Kaz alone, her mind begins to turn.
---
Or, the two nicknames Inej gives Kaz and the one that he contemplates giving her.

Summary
It all begins because Kaz gets detention.
(“You need a subject for your college applications, right?”
“Are you offering?” Kaz asks. "Inej, I’m perfectly capable of finding a subject myself.”
“Like anyone else will want to work with you.”
Kaz is so surprised that he barks out a laugh before he can help himself.)- Language:
