Ky sighed. “That’s true… but its still true.” She hesitated outside the door to the dining hall.

"Then perhaps you should let him know you would urgently like to leave," he suggested.
"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
“I already let him know that,” she said sourly. “And he doesn’t care. And I’m not going to tell them that just so I can go or it’d eat Gaius alive.”

"What if Sera tells him? You said you told her about it, and she has Gaius's ear."

“Gaius cannot know,” Ky said firmly. “Ever. From anyone.”

"Why are you so opposed?" he asked with a frown. "He's a grown man."

She sighed and shook her head. “Nothing good will come of it. Nothing.” She put her hand on the doorknob.

"Probably not, but it doesn't mean he shouldn't know." He stepped through the door.
Gaius was there already, as were his family, Sera, Rickard, Ivar, May, and the rest. D'Ara was also at the table. Tomhas was seated beside Lyra.

Where was he going? She furrowed her brow and follower him in.

He glanced over his shoulder. "No need to say anything. I promised I'd see you in. Have a good meal!" He gave her a small smile and turned, stepping back toward the door.

Ky nodded to him, offering a little smile, then shut the door after him.

Sera looked up as she came in, as did Lyra. Gaius glanced at her and then back down at his plate, brow furrowed.

Ky glanced at him, her own brow furrowing. Sera had already told him, hadn’t she? She forced her expression back to neutral — though exhausted — and strode towards the table and sat down next to Tadaaki.
“You look like hell,” he muttered under his breath.
“Thanks,” she said flatly.
He snorted.

"I was just telling Sera I'll be heading into the village alongside you today," Gaius told her, raising his head as the food was brought in.

Ky blinked. “… You will?” That didn’t seem good. Did he want her alone to interrogate her? Or was Viol in trouble? Hopefully she hadn’t gotten the woman in trouble with her Lord.
