“…I have no idea.” She looked at him, perplexed. “You believe me?”

Gaius nodded. "Like I said. I've seen and heard some unbelievable things recently. A talking mountain cat seems like small potatoes. But no less concerning...perhaps the most concerning. If a god is waking. And the war god, to boot. I need to get to their godstone."
"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
“Not yet.” Jerica shook her head. “No one is supposed to go yet.”

“It means we’re not supposed to go til Them tells us to. Don’t piss off the war god.”

"I need to talk to them--Strithr. If they're waking then I need them on my side."

“You’re not gonna get them on your side by pissing them off,” Jerica argued. “I don’t want people in my face the moment I wake up; what makes you think they do?”

Gaius took a deep breath; he had nothing to say to that. He looked away, back toward the books. "I'll have the contents of that transcribed," he said. "Anything you need. But I want to know when this creature returns. You're going to the village tomorrow, but I want to know when Them comes back."

Jerica was pleasantly surprised that he backed down. Maybe being a herald for Strithr would be fun after all — then she could be the one to pull rank on a Lord. How exciting.
But then he kept talking. “What? No I’m not.” Derik had said nothing of that.

"You are." He nodded. "It was agreed; there is some...tension that needs to be relieved. Your uncle and I agreed it would be better if you all stayed at the inn."

“What tension?” Something fucky was definitely going on. “Is it about Ky?”

(I'll be on discord any time before 5 if we wanna brainstorm on the rp thread thingamajig!)
"No," he said smoothly. "It's a more political matter. Why would it be about Ky?" What had she heard?

(Ayy cool! I’ve got work until 2:30 but I should be able to hop on around 3 or so — maybe earlier if my boss takes pity and sends me home early lol I have worked 57 hours so far this week. Technically have 45 minutes left to finish out my 58th hour of the week that I am supposed to work but we are doing nothing and I very much want to go home lol)
“What political matter?” Jerica pressed. She was used to suave lies from people who thought themselves better than her; it was nothing new. L

"That's not any of your business at the moment," Gaius replied.

“It clearly is, if it involves me. Which apparently it does.”
