"It heal soon," he assured her. "This happen last night. I take long nap then I wake up and come here, and it already scab."
"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 nodded reluctantly, still frowning. “I’m sorry that happened; that’s awful. He shouldn’t have done that.”

"She scared, she drunk. I not angry." He looked back at her. "So. What happen while I gone?"

That was weird. This was the type of stupidity she’d expect from a man, not a woman.
“A ton,” Ky said, shaking that thought off. “I can see ghosts now and Myna — she’s a half-troll that lives in the village — had to give me this little charm to make sure I’m safe.” She tried to dig for it but realized it was under lots of layers of fabric and wasn’t worth it.

Rönn blinked at her. "Slow," he said after a pause. "You say ghost and troll? Safe from what? Someone want hurt you again?"

“Someone always wants to hurt me.” She waved her hand dismissively. That was becoming old news at this point. “But they can’t now. Cause she gave me this little rune so they can’t touch me anymore.”

“Um…” she considered it for a moment then nodded. “I guess you could say that, yes. It’s the spirit of people who used to be alive but are dead now. There are a lot of them here — most of the Ash ancestors.”

"Good and bad ones?" He frowned. "And they can touch?"
"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 anymore.” She shook her head and patted her chest pocket. “…but before, yes… but none of them hurt me! We just want to be sure none can. Because… well… you know how the Ashes used to be before Gaius.”

He nodded. "So this troll give you rune bone to keep safe?"
"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
“Yes.” She nodded as well. “It was very kind of her.”

Ky nodded again and unbuttoned her coats, digging until she has enough space to slip her hand down the pocket of her tunic and pull it out. Then she held it out to him. “Careful. It’s a little fragile.”

He took it gingerly, turning it over in his hands as he scanned the runes. "This good," he said finally, flicking an ear. "Good runes, good spell. You safe with this if it not break. But why you seeing ghosts?"

No, it's not that you didn't succeed. You accomplished a lot, but, if you want to touch people, don't concentrate so much on rhyme and metre. Think more about what you want to say instead of how you're saying it. — LCDR Geordi La Forge
