"Sure." She nodded. "He likes things he can fidget with--anything like that is a good idea. And maybe some things Anneke and Gaius might have? They'd have some good ideas. So would your siblings."
"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
“Yeah!” Ky agreed eagerly, nodding. “Is there… well, anything good from his childhood? Still around the Keep? Or should we make it a, a.. rebirth.”

"There might be some old toys. Gaius knows better than I do." She hesitated. "Tomhas used to run around with a little stuffed bear. He'd hide things sometimes, to keep them away from Michael. Not sure if that one survived but it was definitely his favorite for awhile."

Ky nodded. “I’ll look for it… I don’t know how to get the box back without him seeing, though. They’re bigger than I thought.”

"Are you commissioning one or buying one premade fom the store?" she asked.

“I don’t know,” she huffed. “I don’t know what I’m doing.”

Sera smiled slightly. "I can pitch in some money if you need it. Would you rather it be commissioned or premade?"

“I mean… what do you think he would want? That’s what matters… and thank you.” Ky nodded. “But I think I have enough to buy the entire village.” She pulled the heavy purse slightly out of her pocket from where she still had had her hand wrapped around it this entire time.

"A commission would be more personal," she mused. "But it could be that there's a premade one already tailored to his interests without us having to spend the extra money. Did you take a look?"

(Just saw a super racist tiktok raging against Little Mermaid so sounds like I gotta go watch it when it comes out just to piss off the evangelicals with it doing well in the box office)(like I don’t even like cartoon Little Mermaid so hadn’t been planning on going before this but I might just buy like three tickets Lmao)
“No… I started doubting if it was a good idea Sven said I should make sure he wanted one before I bought one.”

(But listen just cuz some asshole is mad doesn't mean you should go see it. Think of where the money goes. To Disney. Disney, the routinely racist homophobic BILLION/TRILLION dollar company. Versus one racist asshole. Don't go see it)
(Also cartoon little mermaid gave me my queer awakening)
"That's wise advice." She nodded.

(Tbf it was a tiktok compilation of a LOT of racist screen shots not just one. But you raise a valid counter point lol)(and aww! I was OBSESSED with Mulan when I was a kid and I recently was doing a road trip and decided to turn on the sound track because I was getting drowsy and needed a good sing along and the “reflection” song came on and holy hell is it really that big of a plot twist that I’m enby? Lol “look at me, I will never pass for a perfect bride, or a perfect daughter. Can it be I’m not meant to play this part? Now I see that if I were truly to be myself I would break my family’s heart. Who is that girl I see — staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection someone I don’t know?” Like bruh those lyrics hit so much harder when dealing with raging dysphoria lol badass woman playing with gender norms and saving all of China and shit)
“Yeah.” She nodded. “…can you come help me pick one? Please?”

(Those lyrics are so good, that whole movie is amazing. We all aspire to be Mulan 90s disney had something going on there it was great)
Sera glanced at Rickard, who nodded with a shrug. "Absolutely," she said. "Rickard, are you alright to wander for a bit?" "I am." He dipped his head. "Good luck to you both!"

(For sure! And Kim Possible like ma’am step on my throat pls)
Ky smiled a little. “Thanks!” She hesitated, realizing she hadn’t sworn him to secrecy along with Sera. “…please don’t tell him if you see him.”

(I never got into Kim Possible but I loved Drakken!)
"You have my word." He gave her a little bow.
