That couldn't be good. She'd just seen Tarr a few minutes -- it couldn't be for him. So, then, it must be for -- Ky felt sick to her stomach, ...

"I don't know, either," Tadaaki answered. He shook his head. "I still don't know how we got here." "It was...heh. I guess it's good we got a thrashing last night." ...

"Oh, good, thought it was just me," Tadaaki answered, not quite sure if he was relieved or unsettled at the fact that Ky was also bewildered by the situation. "What ...

(omg im so angry rn >:[[[[[[[[[) They got to the infirmary, and both of them were relieved that Alexander hadn't yet returned -- probably off to tend to Aleth, but ...

Ky watched him go, then turned back to Tadaaki. "It's this way." Tadaaki nodded and followed her up the steps. He knew very little about the keep at this point ...

I really admire the fact that you caused such a huge existential crisis in me in the first five poems and made my brain go and then flawlessly slipped into ...

Ky smiled a bit, following after him. It would be nice to not have to shamelessly flatter everyone here on their beautiful country, even though she'd been frozen every moment ...

"Yes, sir." Ky kept her fingers laced through Tadaaki's, but wasn't quite sure why. Aleth never allowed any display of, well, any emotion, really. The only semblance of kindness either ...

"Yes, sir," Ky agreed. Aleth was the only person who had ever seemed so. She of course thought that that was true of her Papa when she'd been a child, ...

"I don't think I'll ever enjoy violence," Ky answered gently, shrugging. Pleased was a strong word. As much as she hated Aleth, there was still something inside her that grieved ...

Ky hoped he wasn't. And then felt bad that she hoped that. And then confused about why she felt bad. She certainly didn't want anyone to be hurt badly enough ...
