Ky nodded in agreement. “That’s what Papa always said. He said he’d rather I be kind than smart, if he had to pick one or the other… I like to pretend that I picked up some of his kindness, even if I’m not as gentle as I’d like.”

"You seem very kind, certainly."

Ky blushed a bit and offered a shy smile. “Thank you… I try very hard to be.”

Ky smiled a bit more at the praise. “So… what do you like to do for fun?”

(Wow Black Mirror just killed me in two hits)

"I love to dance and climb trees," Tristan mused. "And I like to go into the woods to sketch. I did a great drawing of a fox a couple years back--I still can't believe it stood still."

(Had to watch two episodes for Honors. One had a woman buying an android copy of her dead boyfriend and realizing it wasn't the same, and the other was a lovely tearjerker about two elderly women falling in love in a virtual reality town.)

"It was great. And, of course, spending time with my lovely Lily tops all of that." He grinned at her.
"He's being sappy," Lily said, rolling her eyes good humoredly.

(Twas. I was sobbing during the last one cuz it was so sweet but my roommate was in the room)

"We have a few dogs I like to play with and train," Lily replied. "And I like climbing trees with Tristan, and whittling. Oh, and dancing."

"We do." He nodded. "We can teach you sometime, if you like. My favorite is the Averdans."

“I’d very much like that,” Ky said with a smile. “Are they fast or slower?”

"Averdans is a very quick dance," Lily explained. "Lots of steps. But we have slower dances too."

“I like fast tempos.” Ky smiled.

(Every time I open this page Lizzo gets stuck in my head lolol not what I was going for, and yet I’m going to be lazy and not bother to think up a synonym)
