She nodded. "It's the only place in the North that get warm enough to have a flower and herb garden, actually. I keep a massive amount of specimens and tend them with a few employees."
"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

“Do you suppose there are any books here with pictures of those?” she asked. “I’d like to see a drawing.”

"Oh, absolutely! There's everything here.Gaius, do you know any good botany books with illustrations?" "Olivar Sierth's Petals to Leaves: A Guide to the Properties and Appearances of Flowers Throughout the Continent of Jordheim," Gaius replied promptly. "Full color illustrations and detailed diagrams, all masterfully done. The writing is a bit dry, though."

"Certainly." "If I wasn't a noble I'd absolutely abandon the North for warmer climates," Constance said wistfully.

"It's good!" Ky said with a smile. "It's very..." She furrowed her brow, searching for the right word. "Filling? It makes me feel warm and heavy from the inside all the way through. Instead of just being food."

Ky nodded in agreement. "It's quite nice. I like the feeling a lot." She rested an arm across her abdomen, subconsciously brushing her fingertips across her ribs, very, very gently.
