“It seems to be working, yes.” She nodded, patting her pocket subconsciously. Should she mention Narfi? He was making her uncomfortable. But what could Gaius do? Nothing. This was her problem.

(Gaius would find a way to nuke his own house if he knew Michael was there)
"Good." Gaius dipped his head. "That's a relief--are there any more of those?"
"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

“Oh… I don’t know. You’d have to ask Myna.” She hesitated, hand still resting over it in her pocket. Did he want one? Should she offer? She didn’t want to… but it felt polite. And she needed to be polite. “…Do you want this one?” She reluctantly pulled it out of her pocket and held it out even though she was all the way across the room.

Gaius stayed where he was, shaking his head. What sort of monster did she think he was? She was the one who was the most in danger; he just wanted one for comfort. "You keep that," he said stiffly. "I'll ask Myna myself."

What the hell? How did she offend him by being nice? She nodded slowly and slipped it back into her pocket. “…Okay…”

“A few days.” Ky shrugged. “Didn’t say exactly… I’m going back into town tomorrow if you want me to ask her.”

"I should probably go myself," he mused. "It's been awhile since I was down in the village. What's your business in town?"

“To get the—“ oh yeah she hadn’t told him. “Oh. Right. Um… I meant to talk to you about that. I am… getting a heart box… for Tomhas… from Sven…”

"A heartbox," he repeated. "I see." That was an interesting idea. Not necessarily a good one, but interesting at the very least. "What inspired that?"

He was mad. “Um… he… um… seemed sad when we were talking about him not having one…”

"He did," Gaius agreed. "What sort of heartbox will this he? What will you put inside?"

“It’s going to be a dark stained one with candles and streams. Sera helped me design it… well… come up with design ideas. Sven is going to show me his actual design draft tomorrow when I go in… I think I’ll get little stones of all of us kids’ favorite colors. He said he likes the river stones… not sure what else. I want everyone to put something in. Do you have ideas? That, um… (was it a puppy? I can’t remember what Sara said Tomhas liked as a kid)?”
