“Zander really likes coffee.” Ky nodded. “They don’t have it up here, though.”

"I know." Ada wrinkled her nose. "You need to convince your uncle to import it; it's worth it."
"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
That seemed like a reasonable request. Especially since it was for Ada rather than herself. And for Zander, when he came back, if he didn’t die.

"It'd take forever to get in," she mused. "But if I'm not here then at least you'll all have some."

“True,” Ky agreed with a nod. “I can’t really drink it. But my family may like it.”

"You can't drink it?" Her brow furrowed. "Why? It's great; it gives you energy."

“That’s why,” Ky laughed. “I love it. But it turns me into a spazzy chipmunk. I literally start trembling I get so much energy and start stuttering I’m talking so fast.”

"Ohh." Ada nodded in understanding. "I've heard of that happening. You've just got to build up a tolerance."

Ky nodded. “When Zander came to visit, Papa would let me have a very very watered down cup… neither Aleth nor I wanted me caffeinated around him… haven’t tried it since to see if I’ve grown into it or not. But maybe.”

"I highly recommend it." They were hearing the doors now. "The Southern variety, though. Not the Eastern stuff, that's basically a drug."

Ky nodded. “I’m skeptical of most Eastern things.”
All. Including Pratik.

"I don't understand why anybody still lives there." Ada shook her head sadly. "We had two or three women come to the Isi from there, and one of them brought five kids with her. Her husband died in the war."

“Ouch.” Ky cringed sympathetically. “I guess it’s not easy to find a new home if you’re not coming from a place of privilege.”

She nodded in agreement. "I learned a bit about the rulers over there. Both sides are cruel and awful, as far as I understand. The Reputations are the worst, though."

Ky nodded. “They’re so snobby and conceited. I really disliked literally all of the officials I met over there.”
