(Did you just hit me with a Holy Grail reference?!)
"A pleasure to meet you." Ky smiled and dipped her head and shook his hand firmly.

(I did indeed!) (Would have been better if this guy was a mage or a rabbit keeper but eh)
He nodded to her with a grin and lifted his other arm. Kirri leaped off and into the wind with a flap of her wings, soaring on it until she was high above them. Tim squinted after her. "Ah, that never gets old! Graceful takeoff."
"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 watched her go admiringly. "She's a fantastic creature."

"Bred her myself," Tim said with a nod to her. "One of her ancestors was my very first raven, you know. Pip was his name. Good lad, a bit scramble-brained but always knew how to get home."

"Incredible!" Ky glanced around. "You've been working here a while then?"

"My whole life," he replied. "Made it through...erm, three? Four lords? And little Gaius's purge. I've got tough nails, I hang on tight once I dig in."

"You see a lot when you live this long," he said with a nod. "And your bones get cold quicker." He opened the door, gesturing for her to go inside. "How are you liking it here, missy?"
"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
"It's nice." Ky walked back inside, nodding to him. "... very exciting the past few days no doubt."

He shut the door. "Oho, the gods! Yes indeed; the birds have been acting up so I knew something was amiss."

"Oh?" She looked at him curiously. "How long have they been doing that?"

"Mm, a couple weeks. Never seen em like it before in all my years. Suppose I should have told Gaius--I just thought it was particularly bad weather on the way."
"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
"Interesting..." Ky glanced up at the other birds. "He may like to know about it, yeah."
"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]
"You think I ought to tell him?" He walked over to another perch, and the bird sitting on it clacked its beak.

"Maybe." Ky nodded. "I mean... no harm in it, right? If he doesn't care, then he's only out like ten seconds of time. But. Well. If he does care, then...be good for him to know? Maybe?"
