“I haven’t met them,” Ky said simply. “But that’s what I hear, yes.”

"Which one do you think will be the most fun?" He picked up the pace again."
"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

“I don’t know.” This was tiresome. She grudgingly sped up ever so slightly.

"Do you prefer horsemanship or blacksmithing, and do you like someone who's more talkative or stoic?"

“I’m not going to meet either of them,” she said quietly, glancing ahead of them. What was the point in pretending? No one believed her when she tried to be nice. So, no point in expending the effort. May as well just tell the truth.

“Because I’m going home.” She lifted her chin. “Or I’m going to go to bed until I’m allowed to go home. I’m very patient.”

"That sounds extremely unhealthy and distressing for you and your family," Emery mused. "Have you thought about riding a horse here? It's loads of fun, especially in the grove. Not a lot of space, of course, but it beats lying around doing nothing."

“Mm.” She glanced down the hall, grateful that they hadn’t run into anyone. Yet. She was being irritating. She was irritating herself, even. Why was he trying so hard? Why not just tell her to fuck off? She’d gladly go back to her room. Out of sight; out of mind.

He was nearing a jogging pace now. "Did you see any good horses in the stable? There's loads. Plus a goat that just hangs out in there for no reason."

“…they seem nice,” she allowed, remembering the ones she’d seen when Emery was letting Tasia play with his horse. She didn’t speed up anymore, though, letting him pull ahead a bit.

"The goat is absolutely ridiculous," he chuckled. "He's got this obsession with Marcella's pony, so they hang out together in the same stall."

“… that’s cute,” Ky said. “… does the pony like him in return?”

"They're practically married." He grinned. "Their names are Luka and Mia."

Ky wanted to stay pissy but that was really cute and she smiled a little before she caught herself and frowned again. “…good for them.”
