“Well, that’s the problem. He’s claiming to be…” Ky hesitated, glancing around to be sure Tomhas and Sera weren’t around. She was silent for a long moment. She really shouldn’t ...

“No.” She shook her head. “But he’s fairly young… but I don’t think they age after the die. Like. They don’t look older.”

“Well… he’s…” she hesitated. “I… I don’t think I can tell you everything. It’d upset Gaius and Tomhas very much if they knew… I just…I don’t know. He claimed he ...

“I mean… that’s the problem, I don’t know,” she answered sheepishly, glancing around. “I just… based on what Sera just said… I don’t think he’s who he says he is… ...

“Oh.” She didn’t know how to respond to that. She didn’t want to sound cheap or like she was trying to pull a quick one on Myna. But she also ...

“I…I don’t know. Maybe? Would that make them angry?”

Ky hesitated, turning back towards her with a deep breath. “Is… is it possible… to know when they’re telling me the truth?”

“S-so if… um… I mean… um… hi. Sorry to bother again. Um. I. Um…” she fidgeted with her hands, very, very reluctantly nearing slightly. “I…um… nevermind. Sorry.” She couldn’t do

Ky very, very hesitantly approached from the side. She had to fight her body for every single step, her instincts screaming at her to go anywhere but nearer to Myna. ...

“You too.” Was he going to go get drunk? He seemed upset. But she wasn’t quite sure what she’d do with a drunken father. Hopefully that wasn’t his plan. She ...

“Okay.” Ky nodded. “I will.”

“…O…Kay?” She glanced at him. “…what happens in the center of the room?”

Ky shook her head. Then she had an idea. This may work. “…well… we came for my armor… but… I should go ask Myna how I should wear the bone ...

Ky glanced at him. She absolutely couldn’t tell him the truth about Septimus and Michael. Couldn’t ask about Narfi. Would Myna know? Could she trust her?

Ky nodded. Who the fuck was Narfi? Could she figure out an excuse for why she should know his name to ask? Probably not. Fuck.
