"I still want to see him. It's sort of strange, you know? A goat person walking around out there."
"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 nodded. "I understand... you may be a little afraid. So. Prepare yourself. You can handle it. You just... he looks like a savage -- nothing like he actually is. But. Well... yeah."

"Alright." She nodded slowly. "I'll stay back all the same."

"Don't worry... I'm sure Gaius will want all the attention anyhow." She was also fairly sure that she was actually going to get it. But Gaius would certainly be competing for it.

"He should just have a one-on-one so he doesn't hog all the attention," she scoffed. "This dream I had changed him so much. He was obnoxious before but he's even worse now."

Ky laughed. It felt out of place. And yet she hadn't expected her to call Gaius obnoxious. Though she wasn't wrong. "I mean... he probably wants a one-on-one. But he's my friend; he's not going to shoulder me out... and Pratik just likes to have his nose in everything. He'll probably just watch, though."

"True. He nosed his way into my business; that's how we met." She grimaced.

"Ah." Ky figured that was a hint not to pry. "I feel like he generally means well... unless he doesn't. But. Overall. Pretty solid dude."
"u and rina are systematically watering down the grammar of yws" - Atticus "From the fish mother to the fish death god." - lehmanf "A fish stole my identity. I blame shady" - Omni [they/he]
She nodded. "I trust him more than I trusted him before this. That's not saying much, but it's saying something."

Ky nodded, glancing down the hall. "He's always been very kind to me. He got into arguments with Aleth sometimes, but he was always nice to me, even when he was furious... I admire the ability to channel your emotions and choose how you're going to respond. It takes a lot of discipline. Not taking his anger at Aleth out on me."

"Characteristics of a good person," Ada agreed. "I'll admit I had a very, very low opinion of men as a species. I still do. But Pratik and Rickard are a pair of alright ones."

Ky nodded in agreement. "All of the terrible things that have happened to me have been at the hands of men... but those two are good. So is Zander. And Tadaaki. And Tomhas... and the rest of 'em, that... y'know."
Emery. Wick. Ka'Nor... Gaius, she supposed.

"Some but not all," Ada summarized. "I'm looking forward to getting back to my little haven."
