"Well, Gaius is pretty tall and Sara isn't particularly short. So I'd guess Mattathias will be over six feet, like his father. Maybe Regulus as well but I'm not completely sure."
"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
Ky nodded. “Makes sense… I don’t know how my parents were.” She looked at Zander. He was struck, once again, with how shitty he was being keeping her in the dark about her birth parents. “Your mother is a bit shorter than you; and M— your father is right about my height.”
Ky nodded, sobering a bit. “Were.”

Emery sobered as well, glancing down at the floor awkwardly.

“Are,” Zander said firmly. “You carry their love to your own grave. And then you’ll all be together again and you’ll still own their hearts.”
Ky hesitated, then smiled sadly. It was nice to think she carried a bit of Papa with her. And Mama. She reached up to cradle her pendant.

Emery nodded in agreement but remained silent. It wasn't his place to speak here.

“Anyway!” Ky said, shaking off the sentimentality. “Letters all around.”

"Absolutely." Emery nodded. "I'm sure they'll be very happy to hear from you!"

Ky nodded. “… I hope they write me back. If they have time, of course!”

Ky nodded, too. She didn’t want to be a bother. But she did want to hear from them, if they didn’t mind.
“Where is the paper kept?”

"We have some in the rookery, some in the studies, some in your room, probably. Same with ink. Supply rooms have more, I'm sure."

Ky nodded. This was an anal choice to force upon her. “Could… you take me to some? If you’re not busy?”
“He has literally one job: to babysit me.”
“Well… if you don’t mind, then,” Ky corrected, looking at Emery.

(Wow haven't heard that word used in that context in a long, long time)
"If you don't mind following along," Emery said to Zander. "I can take you to some paper, Ky. Certainly."

“Lead on.” Zander smiled and gestured for Emery to go ahead.
