Ky had spotted her kitten Petrir -- already getting so big -- hiding under an end table and scooped him up before she sat down. She felt vaguely anxious about ...

(Up to you! I feel like it wouldn't super affect things either way? Just on horses -- or in a sitting room or something, kind of the same difference, yeah? ...

(aha Ky will simply ~ p e r i s h ~ when the king shows up xD I don't think it'd be realistic to have assassins attack on their ...
