“…yeah,” Ky allowed. “But they shouldn’t have to.”

"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
“Cause I’m not their real relative.” She waved her hand dismissively. “We decided for me to become part of the family; not nature. It’s… different. Adopted children aren’t supposed to be burdensome.”

"Adopted children are children nonetheless," Myna replied. "Blood doesn't always make family."

Ky nodded. “Even so. I don’t want to make them regret it. Best to handle it myself.”

She shook her head. "I say you oughter take help where you can get it."

Ky nodded. She didn’t have the courage to keep arguing with this gigantic woman. “…what happens if my bone breaks? Like… how do I take sparring lessons and stay safe?” Especially given that’s where Narfi seemed likely to appear.

"Only way that bone stops working is if a rune changes or goes," she replied firmly. "Scratching harsh or deep enough, snapping it where a line meets, burning it--otherwise it works just fine. Keep it round your neck on a string or tie it in your hair."

Myna dipped her head. "Do you have other questions?"

Ky thought for a moment. “…I know nothing about any of this. Is there anything I shouldn’t do?”

"Don't antagonize 'em," she said. "Ignoring em is the best thing you can do; you're not meant to talk to 'em or see 'em anyway."

“Okay.” Ky nodded. She wasn’t sure how she’d manage that with Narfi. But she’d try her best. If she didn’t need him now that she had this bone, then she could afford to be more distant… if he let her.

"I'll do some asking around about what might be causing all this, too," she added. "Meaning this meddling in your head. I know some people what can make inquiries where I can't. I'll get back to you soon enough on that."

“Thank you.” Ky nodded. “I’m going home, soon. But Sera could get a letter to me easy enough if I’m gone by then.”
