“Okay.” She nodded. “…just let me know. I’ll do whatever you say.” Within reason.

"Good." Sera dipped her head. "I'm proud of you both for doing this. It's important to get an early start for you, especially."

Ky shifted uncomfortably, blushing and glancing away. Narfi probably thought her an idiot. She glanced at him and then away again. “…yeah, I guess.” Whatever. It wasn’t a big deal, though.

"Gods forbid you get into the state Gaius is currently in," she went on. "The way he is now, I'm sure there's going to be permanent damage."

“That’s not the same thing,” she said sourly, looking back at her.

"Not exactly the same. But neither of you are eating enough. That causes lasting damage."

“It’s not like I didn’t have the fat to spare.” She didn’t. “And like…” she huffed. “Whatever. Gaius said he’ll start eating if I eat so I’m gonna, I guess.”

“Yeah.” She sighed. She wasn’t. Well, she was glad he was eating — but she didn’t like the terms at all. “It’s fine, I guess… maybe I’ll be able to put some weight back on before I go home… I didn’t think Tomhas would notice but he did. So Anneke might, too.” Probably would. She was more observant than he was, usually.

"You are visibly thinner." She nodded. "But I expect we can pull you back before you get dangerously underweight. It's good Gaius suggested this."

Was Sera just going to keep saying that sort of thing until Ky agreed with her? Probably. She sighed and nodded, defeated. “Yeah.”

"Mm." She sat back. "Anything else I can do for you? You'll want to put ice on any sore spots."

“I mean…” Ky rolled her shoulders, assessing. “He didn’t whack me that hard. Like. I’m sure I’ll get a few bruises but I feel okay; he pulled his blows… which was nice. I wonder if he’ll keep that up,” she mused.

"He will." Sera looked her up and down. "If that's all, then, I think you're good to go."

“Thank you.” Ky dipped her head and stood up.
