[ the sharp breath she draws suggests all of nina's assumptions are true: the problem is very much not back and ravka, but present with them. she can't simply let go of it. but alina can't think of a good way to address this without revealing too much, without risking it getting back to kirigan.
she's probably already said too much.
fortunately, all of these things keep her from taking much notice of nina's focus on how alina can recover things back in os alta, and not how they can do it together. the self-involvement of adolescents. ]
