He nodded. "She seems like a fine girl...I hope she'll be alright. I know Sera's concerned about her."

“Yeah… I hope so too,” Pratik agreed. “Does Sera have any insights?”

He sighed and shrugged. "She thinks I should talk to Ky. Or someone. Somebody who knows what she's going through, who...who isn't Lord Ash. She says Tadaaki is good for her, but she needs to expand and talk to other people as well instead of hiding."

“I’d agree with that.” He nodded. “I think you’d be good for each other.”

"I just...don't know her that well. I'm not sure what to do, how to approach her. Would Lord Ash want that?"

“I mean… I can’t speak for him… but… well… Sera seems to know him very well. So if she thinks so, I’d say so, probably.”

"And what about Ky? She might not want to talk to any of us about what happened. We might have nothing to offer her."

“I mean… you don’t necessarily have to talk about it. You can still be a friend.” Pratik said. “I don’t imagine she’ll want to open up until you’ve got that baseline rapport.”

"You have a point there. But there are people closer in age, right? Emery or Ada, maybe?"

“I mean, Ada is leaving,” Pratik pointed out. He thought for a moment. “I think Emery is another good option. But it’s good to have more than one friend.”

He nodded in agreement. "Do you have any ideas? I'm not sure May and Ivar would be such a good idea...they're doing well in her lessons, when she gives them, but Ivar isn't known for being particularly emotionally available.

“Hah!” Pratik smirked and shook his head. “The two of them are hysterical to watch, but a disaster together. Not to mention they don’t have to language skills to have a heart to heart, even if they wanted to.”

"Definitely." He thought for a moment. "Do you suppose Imali might be helpful?"

“…perhaps.” Pratik nodded. “May be tricky with communication there, too, though. That’d give Ky too much time to censor herself. She needs… she’s not going to grow until she lets herself. She’s got too much of her Kyber persona, I think. She’s used to playing a role. We need to break her out of that.”

"And how do you suggest that be done?"

You're wrong about humanity. They are your greatest creation because they're better than you are. Sure, they're weak, and they cheat and steal and destroy and disappoint, but they also give and create, and they sing and dance and love. Above all, they never give up.
