Jerica narrowed her eyes slightly. “I see.” She’d need to make sure she told Derik that Ash’s soldiers weren’t happy. That was important.

"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
Jerica shrugged, glancing down at her bread as she took another bite. Best not to force the issue. Unless— “Just trying to get a feel for the sort of environment Ash keeps here.”

“Actually, it’s very much my business.” She straightened slightly, swallowing. “We could have just sent a letter if we didn’t care about knowing what sort of man we were forming a partnership with.”
(I am poking around on copying over thread one to a Google Doc (I’ve been super bad at being consistent with it and haven’t done much) but I just copied over the first 70 pages of thread one. Would you like to take a stab at the word count?)

(I'm not sure I can do that tonight but perhaps tomorrow?)
The soldier stiffened and tilted her chin up. "Lord Ash is a good man and a good employer. Just because I don't enjoy my job doesn't mean he's not a good person."

(Oh, no, I just meant take a guess of how many words we’ve written not do any of it haha we have broken 6 figures and I am proud of us. Roughly 102k words in the first 70 pages of thread one)

“All sorts.” Jerica shrugged. “Swords. Bows. Horseback. Those are the most common. But we’ve got axes, maces, spears, staffs. Everything, really.”
