"Oh, we shouldn't bother anyone so soon after an earthquake." He shook his head. "It's fine as it is for the moment."
"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
“Ah, yeah.” Pratik stretched. “I’m far too lazy to actually go in search of any. Gotta preserve the youth-iness of these knees.”

"Enjoy them while they last," he chuckled. "They're usually the first to go."

“So I hear… or your back. Mine already aches, though I’m regularly informed it doesn’t.”

"Ahh, the back..." He grimaced. "I think mine is on the way out. Too much heavy lifting."

(O o f that time stamp — hope you went back to sleep and got more rest!)
Pratik nodded sympathetically. “It’s a bitch.”

(I did! Woke up very thirsty, drank some water, thought about going to the bathroom and then went back to sleep)
"I think I've got some years in it left, though. So long as I try to relax, which will be difficult."

(Oh good! Glad to hear it <3 last night was a weird sleep night for me too haha I spent most of my dream running and finally woke up superrrrr stressed and was like meh it’s time to wake up anyway and then it was only 2:50 and I didn’t fall asleep until 1:20 so I have no idea how an hour and a half lasted that long haha)
“Yeah, you’ve got plenty of life left to live. Just take it easy.”

He sighed. "Do you think Ada will let you go with her?"

“…I hope so.” The further removed he was, and the more he thought of it, the more he realized Rickard was right. He’d been smothering her tonight. Hopefully that didn’t fuck up the progress he’d made with her. “I think so. I think she’s become okay with the two of us, even if it’s short of trust.”

"I tend to agree." He nodded. "I think she likes you alright, so long as you're respectful of her wishes. I think it's like that with anyone."

Pratik nodded in agreement. “It’s harder, when you belong to a demographic someone’s used to being disrespected by. But. I agree. Being a decent human tends to end you in the good graces of other decent humans.”

"She'll be glad to get home, I expect. Her family must be worried sick. I hope they still live--she said she was caught when she told her sister to run, right?"
