"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
“It’s complicated.” She shrugged. “But I have to live here for now. Just for a little while.”

"Hm." She frowned. "It's good those boys are still close after so long, at least, that they're housing each other's children."

Ky hesitated and then inclined her head. They’d been at war not many months ago. But. Well. Oh well. It was better now.

She and Abel started up the stairs. "This is where you lost your father?"

“What?” She blinked at her. For some reason, her mind flicked to Petrir and his death and how no it wasn’t here. And then it caught up. “Um… yes ma’am. We were back that way.” She gestured. “I just guessed once I got to here.”

"There's a rather large intersection here." She paused at the top of the stairs. "I do believe I hear him calling, though." Indeed, Tomhas was calling frantically in the distance from down one of the other tunnels. He'd been running down each hall and back to the intersection, growing increasingly desperate.

“I’m okay!” Ky called back, hearing the panic in his voice. And also hearing that he was getting closer. “I’m here at the intersection!”

He broke into a full sprint. "Where did you go? I thought you were behind me!" "And still very much himself." Abel smiled slightly.

“I didn’t know which one you went down!” She tensed, anticipating that he’d crash into her with a hug the instant he appeared. She wasn’t opposed but she didn’t want to flinch.
