“I won’t die. Haelar says I’m not allowed to die til I’m done heralding for him.” She crossed her arms, looking much more like the petulant teen she actually was than she usually did. “And Humtur is really nice and gonna take home faster.”

"You suffer, then. And you trust troll?" He shook his head. "Troll get distract by simple thing. He take three month to get anywhere." Humtur wrinkled his nose at that.
"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 glanced up at Humtur uncertainly, then back at Rönn. “Well… I…” she huffed. “It’ll be fine. I have food. And… wait where did my horse go?” She looked around in alarm.

"That way." Humtur pointed. "Want me to catch it?" "You come back to Serpent Keep," Rönn said firmly. "With horse or no. It not safe for you."

“Can you do it gently?” Ky asked Humtur, deciding not to address Rönn’s comment.

"Of course." He climbed down from the tree, eyeing Rönn warily, and ran off.

Ky glanced at Rönn, then blushed and glanced away.

"You think this help you father feel good?" Rönn asked sternly. "You think this help anyone beside you?"

Ky flinched but glanced back at him. “My mother and siblings actually want me around. Unlike anyone at that place.” She gestured with her chin towards the Keep.

"Of course they want you. And they sad if you leave. This selfish." He turned away. "Forgivable, understandable, but selfish."

Ky shrank. That hurt. “I know. I’m a horrible selfish awful person.” She sniffled, wiping at her face. “But I want to go home. And no one will let me. I’m tired of being patient.”

"They let you go home after Tomhas better, right? They say that, I bet they mean it this time."

“Why would you believe them?” She scoffed, looking at him bitterly. “They’ve said it loads of times at this point. They’re lying. And they think I’m too stupid to notice.”
(I’m getting a new apartment!)

He shrugged. "Safer than long trek to Caracal Keep. Slavers in Venholm, and other things."

Ky shivered at that. “They won’t mess with Humtur.”
