“We, uh… had the same master.” Ky shrugged. “Sort of gives you an understanding of each other, yknow?”

He nodded. "I fully understand. Al wouldn't have experienced your master as well as you two did."
"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 in agreement. He sure hadn’t. She was certain he viewed himself very, very different than either of them viewed him. “No doubt.”

Emery filed that away for later. "Do you, er...remember the name of your master?"

(Hahah poor Ky has a dumb writer haha I got confused and just went along with it haha)
“Ryken,” she said. “He was a merchant. Had me and Tadaaki to help him with that.”

Emery nodded slowly. "What did Al do for him, if I may ask?"

“Oh, Al wasn’t with us,” Ky said, shaking her head. “We met him in the cage. Ryken taunted the whole lot of us before he left so Al knows his face, but he wasn’t with us for the worst of it.”

Ky nodded as well. “Lucky for him. I’m glad he didn’t have to experience Ryken the way Tadaaki and I did.” She subconsciously rubbed her abdomen.

Emery glanced at her stomach. "He must have horror stories of his own," he mused.

“Perhaps.” She shrugged. “I don’t know much about him, honestly. Just what he’s like now.”

“Awful.” She wrinkled her nose and shook her head. “Paranoid and angry and violent.”

"One of the very worst sorts of masters," he said sympathetically. "I'm glad you're rid of him, Ky."

“Me too.” She smiled a little as she looked at him. She was glad to be rid of the beatings for a few weeks anyhow. “It will be nice to have some time to rest up and recover after all the… yknow.” She lifted her left shoulder in a shrug to draw attention to the arm still in a sling. “Things got a whole lot worse before I got here… but now they’re better.”
…ish.
