“It’s nice to meet you all.” She smiled awkwardly. “I’m… sorry to bother. I know you probably weren’t planning on being noticed. I… am not quite sure why I can see you, honestly.”

"The whole atmosphere is thicker now," Lord Damian said grimly. "You may be close to the gods."
"It's only natural for strange things to be going on," Lady Elise added.
"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

“Wait, what does that mean?” Ky asked, alarmed. “Close to the gods?”

"Exactly how it sounds. Perhaps one of them is stirring and drew you near in preparation." He shrugged. "Or it could just be an effect of the massive amounts of energy they're putting out now that they're waking up."

“But why me?” She tensed, looking around in paranoia, as if Builder himself was going to round the corner any moment. “I… no… no how… can I make it stop?” Maybe she would tell Gaius about this after all. Maybe he could fix it.

Damian snorted. "No clue; I'm no seer or skald. Not sure they could do much for you even so."

“That… I don’t like that. I’m not even a Northerner… by birth.”

"Your accent makes that very clear." He glanced at his family. "You're the new Lord's niece, isn't that right?"

Ky hesitated, subconsciously rubbing her throat. What was it about ghosts that made her so insecure about herself? Her nose. Now her voice. “Yes sir.”

She frowned at him, offended. “His name is Tomhas.”

"So I recall." He glanced at Elise. "But he is a natural born child, as I recall." Elise gave a reluctant nod.

"Mhm. A Loquitur. Yet he was raised here."
"He's half Ash," Lady Elise reminded him.
"But still natural-born to a male Loquitur."

She frowned at him, deciding she didn’t like what he was implying. “It doesn’t change who he is. That’s not his fault.”

fun fact i hear my evil twin once wrote a story about a hacker who used the name fyshi33k bc there are 33k-ish species of fish and she liked phishing so fyshi-33k made sense but then she got super embarrassed when someone forced her to explain
