Ky tried to get a glimpse inside. “Why can’t I go in?”

"Tomhas said not to." Sera shrugged. "I expect he thinks the people in there will be a bit..."
"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 at her, waiting to see how she was going to finish that statement.

"Yes." She nodded. "They're much the same; I expect he'll have you meet them in a controlled environment."

“…oh.” So his friends were the bad people? Weird. Oh well. She didn’t want to meet them now anyway. There was nothing at all she’d be able to focus on outside of the she-troll right now anyway.

Myna and Tomhas exited the tavern. Tomhas gave her a nervous smile. "We've worked some things out," he told Ky. "She's got a temporary solution, sort of."

Ky looked at him, then glanced over at Myna warily, staying out of arm's reach.

Myna gave her a nod. "Over by my cart." She gestured. "I've got something for you; it oughter help." Tomhas started over that way and she followed him slowly.

Sera followed after them. Myna stopped at her cart and opened a hefty pack, sorting through some clattering objects. She came up with a small fingerbone covered in runes. "Pine marten bone," she said. "Carved with protective wards. So long as you've got this none of those pesky spirits can touch you. You can rest easy."

Ky looked at it curiously, not touching it. “…I see… how does it work?”

"You hold onto it, keep it on your person. Don't let it out of your sight." She pointed to it. "It don't get rid of the spirits, but it buys time while I go talk to some people."

“Okay… so I’ll still be able to see and hear them but they can’t touch me?”
