Ky stared at her, too perplexed to think up an argument. What kind of crazy talk was this? Her… her funding a vacation for Ky. Why? Ky would gladly give her whatever information from Aleth she wanted; she didn’t need to bribe her. Is that what this was about?

Constance looked back at her, smiling slightly. "The invitation remains open; we can go after the war, or if I need to find myself some off-continent mercenaries I can take you along with me!"

“I… thank you?” She nodded hesitantly. “I… don’t understand why you would. But… it’s very kind of you. Very, very kind.”

“Thank you.” Ky dipped her head as well, feeling like she should have something else to say. And yet she was coming up short. She couldn’t have possibly anticipated an offer like this. Ever. It was… confusing. Perhaps she’d ask Emery about this later — learn what the catch was. She’d rather know now than learn about it on the boat.

“No idea, ma’am,” Ky said. “I’ve never been on a boat… well… I guess there was that one time my friends and I made a raft… but it sank really fast.”

She nodded as well, dipping her head. She needed to figure out how to proceed with this. Not now, of course. She needed to get to the root of the motivation behind this. And if there was truly no catch, then she needed to refuse. She couldn’t accept a gift like this. “…then I’m sure I’ll make do. It can’t be that bad.”

She chuckled. "It certainly isn't pleasant, I'll tell you that. I never quite got my sealegs."

"I just took a ship down to the Austrakan coast once, that's all. It was extremely uncomfortable."

“You’ve been to Austraka?” Ky smiled. “How did you like it? Once you were there?”
