Zander: Here’s a fun Christmas idea. We hang mistletoe, but instead of kissing, you have to FIGHT whoever else is under it.
Ky: Zander no.
Gaius: Mistlefoe.
Ky: Please stop encouraging them.

Ky nodded in understanding, thinking back to her own cottage. “I used to have a little loft, up in the corner of the cottage. It was kind of like having my own room, even though there weren’t walls. Just a cot. It was nice.” She wasn’t sure how that was relevant, but kept reminiscing. “And my father slept right underneath, so he could yell at me to wake me up when he needed help to get up. It was quite convenient…. Not sure how he would have managed it if there were walls.”

"Walls can be good sometimes." Gaius might not have survived childhood without walls and locking doors. "But yes, being close to family can also be good. Especially if you need help and your relatives are the sort to help out."

Ky nodded, vaguely aware they were creeping into territory the other couldn’t relate to. She grinned sheepishly. “I once offered a solider to sleep in my bed and I could just sleep in the barn… Papa was very angry about that. And made the soldier sleep in the barn instead……. Which I guess makes more sense, actually…”

"That was very kind of you, though," Gaius pointed out. "I can't think of many people who'd do the same. Tomhas might, though."

Ky shrugged, thinking back to Ruh’s pronunciation that she was too nice like Tomhas was. A high compliment indeed. “A bit naive, I guess. I never realized men could…” she trailed off, realizing she probably shouldn’t be shit talking men in front of a man. She shrugged. “Thankfully that soldier was nice. He helped me. Said I reminded him of his daughter.” She hesitated, thinking of how many times she’d been compared to someone else’s kid. “I guess people kind of say that a lot.”

"You've got a good heart, I think." Gaius glanced at her. "People often see the best in their children, and you offer your best self to everyone you meet. It's not a difficult comparison to make, in my opinion."

Ky smiled at that, also taking it as high praise. “It makes me happy to make people happy. I’m glad I can do it sometimes, even if I don’t mean to. World needs more of it, I think.”

"I couldn't agree more. I wish all rulers were like you and Tomhas." Especially in the Lords' territories and in the Eastern Realm.

Ky shrugged, uncomfortable with that comparison. “I’d be a terrible ruler… Tomhas is good at it though no doubt.”

Gaius hesitated. "You're both too kind to rule, I think. Perhaps you'd be better as Reeves or advisors."

“Or assistants,” she added, with a rueful grin.

(Hahaha so it never once crossed my mind to put them in an incorrect quote gen, but I’m bored and just spent like an hour with different generators and with different participants and am having a lovely time haha here are my favorites)
(I feel like ‘the squad’ = Zander and Pratik xD)

Spoiler


Gaius : Something’s off. 

Zander: Maybe you’ve finally developed human emotions and feel bad for hurting people. 

Gaius : No, but that’s funny.

~

Gaius : But seriously, what is the real plan here that has to do with not fucking around? 

Zander: There is no plan that does not involve fucking around. But we will make sure all of our fucking around will be applied in a constructive direction.

~

Ky : I am very small and I have no money, so you can imagine the kind of stress that I'm under.

~

Gaius : What do you call disobeying the law? 

The Squad: A hobby. 

Gaius : *crosses their arms* 

The Squad: That we do not engage in.

~

Pratik : And I’d love to be sorry for that, but we all know I’ve done much, much worse.

~

Gaius : You’ve got to learn to love yourself. 

Ky : But don't you hate yourself. 

Gaius : Yeah, but this is about you. Stay focused.



(RIP at the last conversation being accurate hahaha)

(Those are all gems, especially the last one. I knew those generators could be uncanny sometimes but that's a whole new level.
