"I'm good to go after tea," Ada said. "Just come find me or something."
"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

"Sure." Ada nodded to her. She could probably go herself, but she supposed Ky might give her a boost since she'd already met Kazhra.

"Pretty close." Ada nodded. "A couple more doors."

Ky nodded, finally shaking Zander’s arm off. How was she going to survive this introduction without one or both of them calling her on her fear? Maybe she’d introduce then run. Somehow.

"Have you met the cooks or anyone yet?" Ada asked Ky. She'd only really seen the cooks and assistants; she couldn't really speak to any of them but they seemed nice enough.

“No—“ she barely stopped the ma’am. “I haven’t yet… have you?”

"I've only seen them. Like I said before, I tried to talk to them but they don't speak my language at all. They seem fine, nice enough. The cook's younger than I thought she'd be; this place seems like everybody ought to be old."

Ky smiled slightly and nodded. “The food has been nice so far.”

"It has," she agreed. "Kind of bland, not many spices. But it tastes good for what it is."

Ky nodded. “I get that impression from Northern food. But still good.”
Zander glanced at her with a little smile. “Just how you like it, actually.”
Ky smiled a bit, then it faltered. Right. Papa. His food was almost always bland, too. But was good. Everything about him was good. “It’s nice to find similarities where I can.” There weren’t many.

"Your town had bland food too?" Ada asked in interest. Akaeatara, at least, prided itself on spices and seasoning. Perhaps Austraka was different.

“Mostly just my Papa,” Ky said, glancing at her. “He didn’t grow up in our township and didn’t learn to cook until I was born. I think he was too prideful to ask for advice on how to season things.”
Zander smiled and nodded in agreement. That he was, no doubt. Petrir was one of the kindest men on the planet, and humble when it came to offering help or accepting criticism, but one of the proudest people he’d ever met about asking for or accepting help himself.
