“Me too.” Ky nodded, burying her hands in her pockets. “Everyone’s — well… I guess Tadaaki and I have assassins coming after us now— but everyone else is a lot safer now. He made everything worse. Everything.”

"None have shown up yet," he pointed out. "Maybe you're okay at this point."
"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
“They most certainly have shown up,” Ky scoffed, awkwardly raising her left arm through she left her hand in her pocket. “…but… yeah. Maybe. Now I just have to deal with the gods wanting me dead instead.”

"I mean the other ones," he said. "If there are any others. But yeah...at least the gods are indiscriminate?"

Ky snorted again. “Oh, yes, that’s far more reassuring.”

"Not much reassuring about times like these," he pointed out. "All we can do is hope."

"No sense in dreading the inevitable right now, though." He picked up the pace again. "Have you been using any of the cool gifts you got for your rites ceremony?"

“…no,” she said, though she pulled her hand out of her pocket and subconsciously rubbed the pendant from Papa. She’d scarcely taken it off since. Even in her pity parties.

"Oh, bummer. I hear you got some cool stuff. Books, armor, a sword?"

Ky nodded. “… Anneliese got me puzzles, too. And Sera got me a tea set.”

"Puzzles?" His eyes lit up. "I love puzzles! What kinds did she get you?"

“All sorts.” Ky shrugged. She hadn’t looked at them in a while. “A lot of animal ones.”

“…no.” She looked away again. She’d been entirely too ungrateful for that. “… I’ve been busy.”

sometimes i'm like "I should say something quotable to make it into the quote gen" but then I feel bad because quote gen quotes are very spontaneous — theromanticchemist
