It's a first time they've gotten a sitter since October, but they need this. It's not an in-home sitter. They could have gone out, gotten a hotel room, all of that sort of thing. But part of the comfort of this is that they found a woman who agreed to watch the twins overnight, and Inej can pick them up in the morning. They have the whole night to themselves.
Of course Inej is a little nervous about it. Not about their plans, but about leaving the twins to someone she doesn't know and trust implicitly. But they both need this. Just a little moment away, to not be parents and to work through some of the quiet, building tension that can't be worked through in the brief, quiet moments they manage to steal away during nap times.
"Are you going to tell me the plans, or is everything up to you until the last second?" Inej teases as she stands in her closet in nothing but her underthings, contemplating outfits. "I can't get dressed if you don't tell me where we're going."
