"She's chaotic for sure," Tadaaki agreed with a grin. "She's got language skills and yet lacks all capacity to judge what ideas shouldn't actually be verbalized."

"Ahh, that does sound like a four year old. She'll grow out of it, I'm sure. My boy Basil certainly did, so I don't see why it couldn't be true for your daughter."

“Yes sir,” Tadaaki said with a smile. He laughed a bit. “I’m not sure my wife ever fully outgrew that stage, but it’s endearing all the same.”

"Some never do, I think, but that's not terrible, is it? Some people need to hear things they don't want to hear. That's why I appreciate the opinions of children: they often tell me what I'm doing wrong when no one else will."

“Yes sir,” Tadaaki smiled. It faded as he realized that his family was going to meet the king. Tasia wouldn’t know what that meant; and Aashi tended to talk even more when she got nervous. “Oh gods,” he said under his breath. This would be a disaster. He looked at the king. “I would like to apologize in advance for anything my family says to you. I promise they don’t mean anything by it.”

"No offense will be taken." Harold waved a hand. "I've known many talkative individuals in my life and grown accustomed to the possibility of the occasional faux pas."

(I’ve decided Tasia is definitely going to insult him xD)
“We appreciate that, sir,” Tadaaki said.
Ky wondered if he grew accustomed to people thinking he was an assassin and lying about who they were. She assumed she was a first. And was still so embarrassed that this had been his first impression.

"Not at all, not at all. I look forward to meeting everyone!" They were coming up on a crossroads. "Still want that wager on?"

(ahah it's going to be very cute and Tadaaki and Aashi will both die from embarrassment xD)
Ky laughed. "At this point, I'm fairly certain we were both right: we weren't going to be the first to split off."

"I believe that's right. Good thing I'm not a gambler, eh?" He followed the sign he knew would take them to Caracal Keep.

(haha from my characters anyway xD) (except Tasia, she is unaware that emotion exists)
"Hah!" Ky smiled, letting a short silence pass. "Do you know how long you plan to stay, sir?"

"I'll stay for a week, I think, then head home. I don't want to be away from Rein too long." He sighed. "Much to do, much to discuss. Lord Tarr is going to war whether I grant permission or not, and we can't have that."

Poor Loquitur, getting out of one war just to be dragged into another. But surely this one would go better, wouldn't it? The Barrasters couldn't possibly choose to align with Tarr. Would he have any allies at all?
"Oh, gods," Ky said under her breath, it suddenly striking her that Aleth's chest was still at Wolf Keep. There were so many secrets in it. "... Do you think Lord Tarr has a good interpreter?"

"Maybe. I haven't met his staff, actually. But I expect he probably doesn't; the boy doesn't seem concerned with languages."
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik
"Yes, sir." Ky let out a small breath of relief. Would Tarr forget about the chest entirely? She hoped so. "Good."
