"If you want me to do a little espionage I can have a go of it. I may be dead but I can still be of use!"
"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 appreciate that.” She smiled a little. “I… feel guilty having you spy… but… well… I’ve given them numerous opportunities to be forthright with me… it’s not my fault they’re lying…”

"Fair enough." He smiled back. "I'll see what I can find out."

"Thank you." She dipped her head a little. "...Is there... anything I can do to help you? Any messages you'd like passed along or things you'd like a living person to do that you can't?"

He thought for a long moment. "...Give Gaius, Tomhas, and Cecily my love, please. And if you ever come across someone named Lyric Egilkind--they may be dead now--but either way, tell them I'm sorry."

Ky dipped her head. "I certainly will." She was quiet for a moment, then offered gently, "And... if you'd like a conversation with Gaius or Tomhas -- or Cecily if she happens past while I'm still here -- I'd be happy to translate for you. I... think they'd like that you're still around." She blushed and glanced away. "I do, anyway."

He rubbed the back of his neck, sighing heavily. "As appealing as that is, I think it would be best if I didn't meddle too much. I'm dead and I should stay dead."

She nodded, then glanced around to be sure no one else had crept in while they were talking. She remembered suddenly that she'd been too upset to lock the door behind them when they came in. Gods. What an oppressive existence she now lived, constantly having to lock doors behind her and stare over her shoulder like a scared little girl. Pathetic.

It was just Severus sitting on the couch, looking exceptionally comfortable.

Ky took a deep breath and slowly pushed herself to her feet, vertebrae snapping loudly as she moved. She sighed as she finally got upright, leaning against the arm of the sofa again as she tried to decide whether she wanted to sit back down again or not.

"That was quite a noise," he observed. "You teenagers never change with the back issues."
