Ky nodded in agreement. She definitely seemed out of line now that Ky knew the truth of what she was referring to. “…She said what Tomhas put Lyra through was worse than that…”

"She's right," he said hesitantly. "But she shouldn't say it like that."

“Seems like a low blow.” A very, very low blow.

Ky shook her head. “I… wasn’t sure if he’d want me bothering him. Figured you’d know how to help better.”

"Someone to sit with him is usually sufficient," Gaius replied. "Quietly."

(How are things going?)

He dipped his head. "It would help if Anneke were here."

( -_- I have been here for well over two hours and haven’t even been shown into a room. I’m feeling progressively worse and wish I was in my bed not sitting in the waiting room with the cup they made me pee in then didn’t take)

Ky nodded in agreement. “Everything would be better if she was here.”

(Yeah I’m getting in a pissy ass mood. I know healthcare is broken and it’s no one’s fault but I feel like shit and am getting frustrated)

“Yes,” Ky agreed with a nod. Why was she walking with him? Where had Narfi gone?

(Understandably. 1 star review)

Narfi was still with them, just behind and staring daggers at Gaius.

(That’s generous)

How awkward. “Um… he’s in one of the parlors downstairs. At least he was.”

"Probably still is." He got to the stairs and started carefully down them. "What will you do now?"

“I don’t know.” She glanced back at Narfi despite herself, wishing he’d leave. Then she glanced back at Gaius. “Open to suggestions.”

You are going to love some of your characters because they are you, or some facet of you, and you are going to hate some characters for the same reason.
