"Me too." He shivered despite himself, drawing closer to the middle of the group as Violet took up the rear.
"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
Ky glanced back at her, blushed a little, and followed close behind Tomhas. “Who are they?”
"u and rina are systematically watering down the grammar of yws" - Atticus "From the fish mother to the fish death god." - lehmanf "A fish stole my identity. I blame shady" - Omni [they/he]
"Just some pals I used to hang out with back when I was a kid." He glanced down. "Good people."

"Sure!" He nodded, a small smile crossing his face. "That'd be nice; I think they'd like you a lot."

Ky blushed a little. “… you do?” That was nice. Pressure. But nice.

"Absolutely! They're a bunch of goofs for the most part; they'd love you! A group of easy adults."

Ky smiled a little more. “Then I doubly want to meet them. That sounds fun.” Chaotic, but fun. And. Well. She’d missed the chaos of back home while at the somber Ash household. It’d be nice to have more of it. At least, more of the good, fun kind. Not the trolls ruining her life kind.

"One of em is a bit grouchy, but she means well." He seemed happy to chat about his friends rather than his concerns. "Oh, and I think you'll get a kick out of Helge! He can juggle, you know."

Ky was glad to see it. Hopefully if she kept him talking about his friends it would distract him. Not to mention she was curious to learn more. “He can?” She asked eagerly. “What sorts of things does he juggle?”

"Anything that'll fit in his hand. I think the biggest thing he juggled was a set of wine bottles."

“Whoa!” Ky’s eyes widened in admiration and concern. “That sounds super unsafe… but really cool!”’

“I’d like that.” She smiled, too. Then quickly added, panicked that she’d just made a request, “I mean, I’d like it if he didn’t, too. No worries either way of course!”

"I'm sure he will," he chuckled. "Try not to stress too much--they're going to like you no matter what."
