Ky sobered at that. Yes. Yes she would. She nodded in agreement.

"What exactly are you upset about?" Sara asked after a moment. "Regarding Tomhas coming and Gaius saying something about you being unhappy. What part of that is upsetting?"
"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
Sara must be out of her damn mind if she thought Ky was going to open up to her after this. “It doesn’t improve anything. Why would I be happy about him risking himself for no reason?”

"I don't think anybody is happy about him risking his life. But Tomhas is stubborn and impulsive; he does what he wants."

Ky glanced at her then dipped her head. What, exactly, was her question then? Why were we judging Ky, yet again, for having emotions? For being upset at things that were upsetting.

"Aside from the obvious, though, why is this upsetting? I'm not asking out of confusion; I'm just curious."

“Why does there have to be a reason beyond the obvious?” she countered. But thought about the question anyhow, in case Sara didn’t drop it. Because she didn’t have the first idea of the answer to that.

"Because there usually is, in my experience. I guess there doesn't have to be, though."

“…I just don’t see how this is supposed to help,” she said after a moment. “He’s abandoning my siblings and my mother for two months because I like spending time in my room.”

"That's not the only reason. But I agree it's not very well thought out on his part."

"What about Gaius? Why did you expect him not to tell Tomhas how you are?"
"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
“Because he doesn’t need to know.” She pulled her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them. “I’m alive. That’s good enough.”

"Why doesn't he need to know how his daughter is faring?" Sara asked, brow furrowed.
