Ky nodded in agreement. “Did seem to be getting him off.”

He wrinkled his nose. "Gross. I just hope he doesn't go too overboard."
"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
“He literally cut off his leg,” she scoffed. How much more overboard could you go?

"Touche." He winced. "No more overboard than that, then. I hope."

"If he cuts his hand off next I might have to leave."

Ky furrowed her brow at him. "What an awful thing to joke about."
"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]
"That wasn't a joke." He glanced at her. "I'm serious. Who knows what he'll do next?"
"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 frowned at him. "... you think he's gone insane?"
"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]
"I mean..." He winced. "Forget I said anything. It's stupid."
"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
No, no, he wasn't going to say something like that and then just back out of it. If he was going to force a conversation then she was going to push this. "What's stupid?"

"I'm just worried about him is all. The last time he fixated this hard on something was the time he disappeared in the library. And now that he's got it into his head that amputating his leg will put him in better favor with the gods or something...." He wrapped his arms around himself. "I just hope he sees that his hand is a different matter."

Ky considered for a moment then nodded. "... I think he will. I think the leg was because he thought he'd move better without it. Taking off his hand would just slow him down even more... plus I can't imagine he'd be eager to go through another amputation." Ky shivered.

“I would too.” She wrapped her arms around herself tightly. “… but I pass out very, very easily, so I guess that’s not saying much. I usually passed out at least three or four times before I could be disciplined properly… it irritated us both that it took so much longer with me.”
