“Of course.” She inclined her head. “It’s good to have your bases covered in case they wake 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
“Yes ma’am.” Ky inclined her head. “Hopefully not. I’m sure… that would cause… quite the upset.”

"Most definitely. It could cause genuine catastrophe, if the stories are to be believed."

“Yes ma’am.” Ky paused to blow on the struggling flame to make it grow into existence. “I’m not too interested in living through what will some day be a major historical event. I like having a quiet life.”

“Couldn’t agree more.” She fed the fire a bit more kindling, coaxing it to light some of the mid sized sticks. “There’s something to be said for the joy of a simple life.” She hesitated, realizing that she was saying that to a literal noble. How offensive. “Not-not that it’s better than any other sort of life. It’s very, very important to have people who, um, who have the ability and responsibility to um, manage and um oversee the simple people.”

She chuckled. "Ky, most nobles dream of having a simple life at least once."

“Oh…” She blushed a little and gave a shy smile, dipping her head and turning back to the fire. It had finally caught but she was staying by it a little while longer to be sure it didn’t change its mind. “Yes ma’am.”

"Gaius and Tomhas had it, for a short time. Sounds more complicated than one would anticipate, though."

“How so?” She sat on the edge of the hearth, enjoying the warmth of the fire on her right shoulder.

"Well, the work is tough and money is tight. There's the cold to contend with, illness."

“Oh.” Ky nodded. More difficult than she would anticipate. And. Well. Maybe more difficult than Ash and Loquitur were accustomed to, given they grew up in this fancy Keep. “Yes ma’am.”

“Easier than when I left.” She shrugged, then her eyes went wide. What was she doing? Complaining to a noble! “Not-not that I’m complaining. I-I don’t mean to complain. Apologies. Yes ma’am. The farm was a lot of work. But, um, I didn’t mind it so much. Not that I mind anything.”
