“But what will it change?” Ky furrowed her brow. “Whether Septimus — or anyone else — can touch me or not I’m still going to do my best to avoid him and you can just focus on warding him off in case my avoidance doesn’t work. What will change if someone can touch me vs if they can’t?”

"It's all about adjusting my tactics," he replied. "I need to know if it's selective. And if it'll wear off."
"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 sighed, burying her hands in her pockets. She didn’t like this. Not even a little bit. But she was running out of courage to keep saying no. Perhaps it’d be easier to go along with this.
(I made a critical error tonight and I’m not sure exactly what I did wrong but I think I’m gonna throw up this sucks lol)

(Idk bro. I’ve got digestive issues so I expected my stomach would flip out on me based on my dietary choices sure fine whatever but usually that’s just diarrhea if anything and some pain but I legit feel like I’m gonna throw up. Can’t decide if it’d feel better to not throw up or to go ahead and make myself so then I get it out of my system)
“…if we must,” Ky agreed with a reluctant nod.

"Nice." He grinned and strode off. "Who do we look for?"

(Me too ;-; On the plus side when I was throwing drinks I had an open drink and I was like 99% sure it was fine but I wasn’t watching it and circling back to last week lol I’m paranoid af about my drinks so I dumped that one and didn’t drink it so I know for a fact I didn’t get drugged or whatever. But I’d be paranoid af if I would have drank it and now gotten this sick haha)
“I don’t know.” Her voice and her posture were small as she followed after him.

(Oof yeah That's no good; I hope you feel better!)
"Let's find...hm. No Septimus, apparently. Come on, tell me some people!"

(Thanks! Idk how long I’ll be around. I’m laying down trying to see if it’ll make me feel better and I’m exhausted so I may fall asleep or I may not)
Ky reluctantly shuffled after him.

Narfi headed down the stairs toward the first floor.

(Thanks! Hopefully so ;-; I submitted my time sheet today and my time for the past two weeks combined is 108 hours I am wiped lol)
Ky continued to reluctantly follow him. She was trying to come up with excuses for why they shouldn’t but kept coming up short.

As they reached the first floor, loud voices came from the parlor. Narfi raised an eyebrow and sped up.

(Not really ;-; that’s a lie — on the weekends I usually do, that’s why I’m almost never around in the mornings lol but my body doesn’t let me sleep until midnight most nights or 1 o’clock if I’m unlucky and I have to be up at 5:30 for work and it’s brutal af)(like I’m currently in a hotel in eastern timezone and so it’s 11:09 and I just set my first alarm for 6 hours from now. Am I gonna sleep soon? Time shall tell. My body is hella hard to predict whether I’ll pass out or not when I try)
Ky furrowed her brow and followed him.

(That sounds utterly horrible I'm sorry your schedule and body won't let you sleep)
"--no reason for you to put her through that!" Viol was yelling. Michael slipped through the door and leaned against the all, watching as Tomhas stood red-faced in front of her with his arms tightly crossed. "I gave you my reasons," he retorted. "And I regret them! I'll regret them the rest of my life. It was a horrible decision and I've been chewed out by everyone I love. I don't need more of this!"

Ky hesitated off to the side of the doorway, not intentionally eavesdropping and yet doing just that as she tried to figure out what was going on.
