"Nobody will mind at all," Sara assured her. "Look." She looked around on the desk and pointed at a letter sitting neatly on the corner of the desk. A lopsided Ash seal marked the green wax. "See, even Gaius isn't perfect."
"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 smiled at that, then quickly sobered. She wasn’t supposed to agree with anyone criticizing Gaius. Still. It made her feel better. She nodded. “That’s good, then.”

"You're just fine. We can take those to the rookery for you whenever you're ready."

Ky nodded and gathered them up, carefully not bumping any of the seals. “I mean… whenever is fine. There’s no rush — whenever wouldn’t be too much of a bother.”

"We should probably get back to the others, but I can send them out for you afterward."

“Of course.” Ky nodded, offering a little smile. “Thank you for helping me.”

"My pleasure!" Sara grinned. "I'm sure they'll love your letters, Ky."

Ky blushed a little, pleased. “I hope so… and I hope they have time to write back. If they want to! If not it’s fine. But… it would… I would like it. But it’s not a big deal if not. I understand.”

"Theyll absolutely write you back. Tomhas and everybody there seems to accept you fully as family already; you've got nothing to worry about!" She headed for the door.

Ky smiled at that and slipped the seal and extra wax back in her pocket, then grabbed the letters in her left hand and followed Sara to the door. “I’m very glad to hear that… I’m sure it’ll help.”

"Certainly!" Sara opened the door for her. "Have you ever used a raven before?"

"We have a whole rookery, dear. It's the main mode of information exchange, since the snow sometimes gets too deep for horses. And they're clever creatures."

"Well, specific ravens are trained to go between certain places. We have ravens with an orange ribbon on one foot that means they are trained to go to Caracal Keep, while others go to other Keeps and villages and the like. The other leg always has a green ribbon to indicate they belong to Serpent Keep. This is their home base."
