Ky attempted a smile, but it was weak. They'd put in so much time and effort -- her and Tomhas and Anneke and the girls -- to making her be ...

Ky took a deep breath. She didn't want to promise. If she promised, then it stopped being an option. She would, ironically, rather die than break a promise she made ...

Ky nodded. "Okay." Absolutely not. She was either going to deal with her feelings on her own; or she was going to act on them. She wasn't going to burden ...

Ky nodded. "I just don't want anyone getting caught in the crossfire because of me... and it feels like the safest option is just for me to... well... I mean, ...

(Works for me!) Ky felt like it was almost as big of a crime to slip off her own boots and curl up under the blankets as it had been ...

(That works! Ky is probably gonna be a bit sulky today so something like that scene and/or having to spill her guts to Tomhas/Gaius/Harold? and/or something else where she feels ...

(no yeah I think that'd be great! I did have the passing thought a while back that it'd be fun to have a Ky/Pratik scene since both of them know ...
