He winced. "He did all that stuff before he was your dad, Ky. He's still the same as he's always been. Just...you know more now."

(Yeahhh it wasn’t fun lol The real kicker is this is literally pointless. I don’t need it for my job. Like. I need this certification and I have to pass this test to get the certificate. But I don’t need to be able to do the math to do my job)
“But now he’s pushing me away.” She wiped her nose roughly, willing herself not to get worked up. “I don’t think he wants me anymore now that he knows. Plus Petrir lied to me, too.”

"He's not pushing you away." Emery looked up. "He's hurting, Ky. Rightfully so, I guess, but he just needs space right now. He's afraid of what you think of him now. I'm sure he still wants you. I'm positive of that."

(So we use electricity to shock the fish. It has to do with a bunch of water chemistry and such what parameters we use. So there are about a billion equations that can be used to figure it out. The thing is, is that there is also a table that can be used. You legit go “oop it’s this temperature in this column, and has this value in this row, and here we go here’s our number” and we have that laminated and in the boat so no one actually does the math lol but they intentionally give examples that force you to do the math for the test to prove you’re able to do so for some godforsaken reason. I could see it being a few questions but not that many)
“I’m not,” she said quietly, voice small. She shifted her weight, not looking at him. “He didn’t want me to go home before. And now he won’t even look at me. He regrets me.”

(I guess there's a good reason for that but it's beyond me)
"Ky, no." He shook his head. "Don't even go there; it's not true. He doesn't regret you. Ask anyone here."

(I mean this entire training feels like it was made in 2000 and is hella outdated and painful lol like the slides are a dark blue that’s a little darker than the quick reply button but about that shade and the text is yellow and comic sans font. Something boomer definitely happened there and no one has updated it)
Ky shrugged sourly. “I’d just ask him but he won’t look at me. Which feels like my answer.”
(I think she probably definitely wrote Anneke a letter in the midst of all this if we wanna RP that out at some point but def don’t have to. I don’t know if she’d have straight up told her that she knew but she’d def be being hella sappy and may have told her about Jerica too)

"He's ashamed of himself," Emery pointed out. "It isn't about you."
(We can definitely rp their interaction but I'd have to take some time to think about what Anneke would write in reply)

(That’s valid ^^ I guess a lot would depend on what Ky even ends up saying to her to begin with lol we can see how it goes)
“But it wasn’t about him,” she countered. “He was supposed to be comforting me about my secret family and then starts talking about… you… and him… and… and… it wasn’t supposed to be like this.”

"He does that," Emery said reluctantly. "Makes it about him. He's better than he used to be, but...yeah. It wasn't sensitive of him."

Ky shrugged. “It is what it is… but…” she sighed. “I reacted poorly… but he didn’t give me much of an opportunity to react well… the timing… and now he’s not letting me apologize…”

"He'll come around," he assured her. "He needs time and space, that's all. Just needs to come back from this."
