Ky nodded, grateful that she’d take Myna seriously if not she herself. That was good enough. “…There are still spirits in the Keep. Lots of them. Dead Ashes… I can ...

(Hahaha yeahhh and yet is she gonna be smart?) Ky glanced at him, then Sera, then glanced around to be sure they were alone. How was she even supposed to ...

Ky shuffled along after him, keeping her hand over her pocket to feel the bone through the fabric. Would this really help? Would she be safe from Michael now? Should ...

“Okay.” Ky shrugged. She wasn’t leading the way that’s for sure.

“…here?”

Ky glanced at Tomhas.

“Thank you.” She nodded to her and took a step backward, sliding the bone into the breast pocket of her tunic. She’d be worried nonstop about losing it now.

Ky thought for a moment then shook her head. She had a lot of questions. But none she should share.

Ky cringed and nodded. That made it worse — being mean to someone everyone else was mean to, too. But. Well. At least she didn’t seem upset about it.

“Thank you.” She took it gingerly, looking it over. “…I’m sorry for not trusting you.” Not that she trusted her now. But. Well. She no longer thought the absolute worst ...

Ky nodded and hesitantly stretched her hand out to see if she was supposed to take it now. “Yes’m.”

Ky nodded timidly. This was scary. What if met Michael and he realized she had it and it made him angry and then it didn’t work? What if it hurt ...

“Okay.” Ky nodded, still staring at the bone but not having the courage to reach for it. “Do I… need to do anything? Or just keep it in my pocket?”

Ky nodded. “…what if they figure out I have it? Can they take it out of my pocket?”

(Ah oops you rite) “Okay… so I’ll still be able to see and hear them but they can’t touch me?”
