She smiled more at that, warmed by earning a Bay smile, and nodded. “Will do. I hope everything goes well for you all here.”

Ky subconsciously followed his gaze. “… I imagine Rönn will be coming with us.” She owed him an apology, she supposed she’d give it tonight. She hadn’t felt like talking to him since he’d dropped her off. Would rub her nose in how quickly they were leaving, no doubt. Give a hearty I told you so.

She grimaced but dipped her head. She hoped they didn't. Both because she was still annoyed with him, but mostly because that meant there would be a threat. And she just wanted to get home. Soon.

Several guards were at the gates ready to open them.

(Any desire for additional interactions? Last minute Rickard/Sera/Emery cameos or nah?)

(Mmmmm maybe Rickard and Sera and Emery are there yeah I forgot about Emery)

Jerica walked over to Ranofer, wanting to stay angry. But she glimpsed Rickard and turned into a fucking sap all over again. It was humiliating what a little bitch he turned her into. She acted like a toddler around him and couldn’t seem to control it. She debated for a moment then decided she wouldn’t be able to live with herself if she didn’t say bye; especially since Strithr was probably going to do her in a few months. She strode over to him. “Um… bye?”

Rickard's eyes were full of tears, but he managed a small smile. "Goodbye, Jerica. Will you write?"

She smiled a little at that, happy he’d consented to start calling her by her given name rather than a title, and nodded. “Of course. As much as I can. Gotta keep you apprised of my mischief, now don’t I?”

"Minimally," he chuckled, and wiped his eyes. "I'll worry anyhow. Try not to get yourself hurt."

“I’ll do my best.” She forced herself to keep the smile, though there was a prick of guilt. She wasn’t going to survive the year. But best not to worry him. Let his last memory of her be a pleasant one. It was her burden to bear, not his. “I think I’m starting to figure out how to keep the pointy end of weapons away from me.”

"Really?" He raised his eyebrows in surprise. "That's very good to hear."

Jerica chuckled at that, surprised he’d played into her joke. “Gods, I’ll miss you.”
