"Probably." Ky nodded, unwilling to say anything with certainty. Even though she was fairly sure. "In a bit."

(I was thinking the same... I feel like we need like an inciting incident? Like, something to happen or something to give a topic instead of just trying to have it happen organically? I feel like she just keeps repeating the same angst again and again but I have no ideas for twists on it hahah I feel like we need a fresh breath somehow)

(Yeah I feel the same way. I was thinking of maybe meeting up with Rönn? Ky is probably gonna be having the same angst for awhile but it might be nice to have her angst at someone other than her family this time. We might get a different dynamic that way.)

(That works! I do like the Ky/Rönn dynamic quite a lot! Do you think he'd be down for another meet-up so soon? Or do you wanna time-skippy?)

(I think he'd be down for a meeting the night after this one! Gaius will probably emerge back into the world that morning as well.)

(Okay awesome! Also other random ideas are that we will need to yeet Zander out of the Keep sooner or later in the next few days... dunno that I really have a clear idea in mind for how that should go, though, so we could always just kinda gloss over that unless you've got an idea for character interactions. And then the journal sniping, but that'd be mostly on you to come up with and would probably be more once things started to calm down a bit so maybe more of a bigger time skip than we're going for now. But thought I'd throw both those out there as things in the somewhat-near-future before I inevitably forget them lol)

(I think either of those things could actually work really well for initiating a meeting with Rönn. We could skip maybe two or three days from now to when Zander leaves? Or we could get Ky reading the journals before he leaves. I'm more inclined toward the Zander leaving. That would certainly upset her. She might not want to confide in her family for that.)

(I was leaning that way as well, so that'd be perfect! So we wanna skip to the morning of Zander's departure?)

(Sounds good! Sleep well!)

(Do you think Gaius would have allowed them alone time? Maybe the night before? Or before this?)

(Absolutely! He'd probably give them as long as they need up to a certain point. The whole day, even)
