Ky smiled and dipped her head. “Yes, please pass along my thanks to her as well. Definitely a talented woman.”

"I certainly will." "Please let us know if you have allergies to anything," Gaius added.

(…huh… not me, realizing not a single character in any context of mine has allergies of any sort…) (Rip Tadaaki ty 4 ur sacrifice)
“Yessir. Not that I’m aware of, sir,” Ky said, glancing over at Tadaaki and expecting him to nod in agreement. Instead, he blushed a little. Ky furrowed her brow slightly. That was news to her. “… you do?”
“Um…” He blushed a bit more, glancing at Ash sheepishly. “I’m…um… not really supposed to… um… eat shelled animals. Sir.” He probably sounded so entitled right now. Announcing he planned to refuse food. “But, um, it’s not that bad, sir. I can still eat them. It’s, um, it’s not a bit deal. Sir. I just. Um… that-that’s it, sir. And it’s, uh, again, it’s not severe. Nothing too, too bad has happened… yet. Sir.”
Sure, his mouth and throat got kind of numb and swollen but, well, he could still breathe, mostly. So. Well, he avoided it when he could. But he’d eat it if it meant being polite. It’s not like he hadn’t had worse things happen to him. Much worse.
(Have also decided Tadaaki approaches his allergies exactly like I approach mine lol) (Me: um, I mean… this’ll be fine… Friends: PUT IT DOWN, SHADY. It’s even ruder to have an allergic reaction in my house than to say you don’t want it)

"I'll see to it the cook has that information." He dipped his head.

“Thank you sir,” Tadaaki murmured, dropping his gaze and ducking his head as he blushed even more.
Ky glanced at him again. She felt like a bad friend for not even knowing that about him. What else didn’t she know?

"What happens when you have a reaction?" Sera asked.

“Oh, I, uh. My tongue just kinda goes numb and my throat gets scratchy and small… but it’s not that bad, ma’am! I-I don’t mind it, much.”

"Even so, we'll keep you away from shellfish. I have an allergy to tree nuts, so I know the feeling."

“Yes’m.” Tadaaki nodded. It was not a good feeling. Not at all.

“No ma’am.” Tadaaki shook his head. “I think that’s it.”
Ky hesitated, thinking of admitting her hay fever, then deciding against it. At this rate, she was fairly sure that hayfields couldn’t possibly exist up here. And she wouldn’t be likely to be near one, even if they did. So instead she took a drink of her wine and discretely glanced at Emery and Sera’s plates to gauge how much longer was left in dinner. She was getting the impression that Gaius was as thin as he was for a reason. Watching his plate was probably useless.

Emery and Sera were both nearly finished. Gaius, predictably, was not even close.

Ky decided to finish up quickly, then. Not fast enough to be suspicious. But she needed to finish her plate so they didn’t think her rude. Especially given the fact that she’d taken a modest helping in the first place. All she had to get though now was the fermented pile of nasty greens on her plate. Thankfully she had a good poker face when it came to eating food she didn’t like, and she managed it fine.

"Now that the children are in bed," Gaius said, "I'd like to ask about Aleth's contacts."

Ky swallowed without chewing, a chill running down her spine. He’d switched from small talk to interrogation very, very quickly. She looked at him. “Yes sir?”
