"Aww." Marcella jutted out her lip. "Can we meet him when he comes back? What's he like?"
"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’s a question for your mama and papa,” Ky said. It still felt so wrong to refer to Gaius that way. But. Well. That’s what you did when it came to children. “But he’s very no-nonsense. Says exactly what he means.”

"What does he look like?" Mattathias sat down cross-legged

“Like the stories say. He’s huge.” She stood up and gestured. “This tall. And huge horns on top. He’s got a goat head and feet but mostly man otherwise.”

"Wowww." They stared at her in awe. "Can he talk?"

Ky nodded, smiling a bit. “He can. His grammar isn’t perfect but you can understand what he means.”

"That's so cool," Martathias whispered. "I really wanna meet him now."

“That’s up to your parents,” she reminded him. “Not my decision or yours.”

"Are the stories about him true?" Marcella prompted. "What's the real stuff?"

“He ate Builder’s goat because he was very, very hungry. And now he’s been hungry for six hundred years! All alone. Just in the woods by himself. He’s very lonely.”

Mattathias frowned sympathetically. "That's so sad! Can't he get food from people instead of eating people?" "The myth says he can't go in places!" Marcella pointed out.

“Yeah, he let me sit by his fire, but he couldn’t come to ours. He’s not allowed to accept hospitality.”

"That's so mean." Marcella wrinkled her nose. "The gods are awful@"

Ky hesitated. Then decided she wasn’t going to answer that one at all. Let their parents influence their opinions however they like.

"Are they actually going to wake up?" Mattathias asked, tears readily springing to his eyes.
