Ky didn’t talk, either. She didn’t even look at him. She just focused on crying as silently as possible. And how utterly horrible it was going to be to go back to hell.

He glanced at her eventually, then looked away, bristling.
"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
She caught it out of the corner of her eye but didn’t respond, instead just sniffling and roughly wiping at her nose.

"I understand," he said after a long moment. "I not blame. But it so foolish."

Ky opened her mouth to respond, then thought better of it and closed her mouth again, instead just sniffling and rubbing her nose again. This was horrible. It’d be even worse once she had to deal with Gaius being insufferable.

"You get back and see you father, you think twice," he said decidedly.

Ky scoffed scornfully, rolling her eyes. Fat chance of that.

Pain and anger stabbed through her all at once along with guilt. “Nope. I’m just a terrible selfish person.”

"Terrible, no. Selfish, yes. But you still child. Child allowed to be selfish; it part of grow up."

Ky sniffed and roughly wiped her nose again then sped up. This was so uncomfortable. She didn’t want to talk to him. Didn’t want to deal with him at all.

"Why you not wait?" he asked wearily. "You know they send Tomhas and you home now that Tomhas try to die."

“I’m tired of waiting!” She snapped, finally looking at him so she could glare. “I’ve been told for weeks I can go home. And now Gaius keeps changing his fucking story. Two weeks. A month. It’s hard to say. It’ll depend. Blah blah blah. I’m sick of it. I want to go home.”

I'm officially making it my goal in life to become a roomba. I want to be little robot. I want knives taped to me. I want to be free. — TheMulticoloredCyr
