Ky and Tadaaki exchanged a glance. Free. No more slaves. No more Aleth. Ky felt a weight fall off her shoulders, though she still couldn’t quite grasp it. My friend. ...

(Okay! Should be kinda back now lol still gotta study but done with study group so faster lol) Ky and Tadaaki both started, Ky leaning away as Tadaaki yanked his ...

(Lmao I love him so much xD) Ky stayed curled next to Tadaaki, talking gently. It seemed that both of them had an equal amount of admiration for the other. ...
