Ky cringed and nodded in agreement. "Men suck... with some exceptions of course." She gestured at him.
"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]
"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
That was pushing it a bit. Zander still existed after all. Tomhas. Tadaaki. How was she to rank them? "One of them, no doubt."
"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]
"Certainly. I'd rank...hm, Tomhas, Bay, a couple others somewhere in there as well."
"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
"...Not Gaius?" she asked curiously. She wasn't sure that she would, either. But Tomhas had her undying loyalty as her savior; did Gaius not have Emery's for the same reason?

"Gaius is great. But the best man? Not sure about that. He's got dubious morals."
"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." She nodded. She didn't disagree with him. But. Well. It was an odd thing to witness.
"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]
He hesitated. "Might have to take Tomhas off the list actually. He's great but...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]
He flushed, looking away. "Er, we were gonna do a back and forth question thing before we got distracted with the cool tunnels, right?"
"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
She narrowed her eyes at him. "Sure. My question is what do you mean about Tomhas? 'But' what?"
"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]
"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
So there was a story. But, bizarrely, about Tomhas rather than Bay. She definitely wasn't going to drop it now. "How so?"
"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]
He was bright red now. "Listen Ky, I'll tell you sometime, but I don't think now is really...a good time. For you or Tomhas to be digging that up."
"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 continued squinting at him, trying to decide whether or not to keep pushing. She sort of felt like she should drop it and honor his requests, even though she knew 'maybe later' meant 'no' almost 100% of the time. But. Well. Guilty consciences felt the need to fill silences. Perhaps he'd ramble himself into tripping over the truth if she just waited.
