Shady

(Hahaha right? I'm actually not quite sure what to do xD I feel like Ky would be scared to say that's what she wanted, but if she keeps rambling, it ...

Ky felt like she was going to suffocate from the too-long silence, but she was too scared to look over at Loquitur. She felt his eyes on him and stared ...

Ky was glad to hear that, at least. Would she also share a bounty of food with her? That sounded nice. She realized she'd been taking too-large bites, when she ...

"Yes, sir," she murmured. She sighed softly. They were leaving tomorrow, weren't they? Back to being fully under Aleth's thumb. He'd at least had to be quiet in the little ...

"Oh, uh, I don't really need--" she risked a quick glance up to his face, but quickly looked back at the floor. "Aleth -- I mean, no, no that is ...

Jerica groaned, pressing her palms against her eyes. That was the last fucking thing she wanted to think about just then. She'd been healed, but she still felt like her ...

Ky looked back down the hall towards Aleth's room, uneasy. What if he came out? She wanted to run back to her room, but she couldn't do that. So the ...
