"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
“Mm.” She buried her hands in her pockets, still watching the book.

He glanced at her. "Are you going to gawk or look for your information?" he asked with a frown. "I'm not going to do all the work."

He gave her a look of mild impatience. "You're looking for a lead on your...problem, correct? Use your intuition."

He looked back at her, narrowing his eyes, then looked back through the book, taking another from the shelf as well. "Context and key words," he said curtly. "That's what you're looking for."

Who knew Gaius Sr. was even more irritating to study with. “Okay…” she hesitantly stepped forward again, still well out of arms reach, and pulled a book from the shelf.

Ky couldn’t focus; how was she supposed to? This was… insane. Studying next to her fathers abuser. “…is Michael here.”

The hairs on the back of Ky’s neck stood on end. “But he’s here? In the Keep?”

“Oh…” she said weakly. Fuck, fuck, fuck— “…did something… happen?”
