She hesitated. "... Tell that to Strithr," she said sourly. "It's not like I want to die."

"You don't?" Jerica looked at her with a grin, excited. "You're feeling better!"

"I..." Ky glared, looking away and blushing. "Don'tknowthatIwouldsay--"

"I would! This is huge for you." Jerica was thrilled.

Myna glanced between them, brow furrowed.

Ky blushed profusely, glaring and looking away.

Jerica sobered, glancing at Myna. "...Oh... I... I thought she knew..."

"No shame in having a hard time of it," Myna said. "You'll find no judgement from me."

Ky's entire face and neck were burning with embarrassment but she nodded. "I... it's just..." She sighed, humiliated.

"...I'm sorry." Jerica grimaced. She hadn't meant to embarrass her; she'd just gotten excited.

"It's... fine." Ky shook her head, not looking up. "It's not like it's a secret."

"Everyone has their ups and downs," Myna assured her. "Everyone."

"I've not had many ups lately," she muttered. "...I mean not until Jerica came, but now you want to go let Strithr kill you."

Jerica wrinkled her nose at that.

"Strithr would have no intention of killing their herald," Myna noted. "She's an asset to them."

"Yeah!" Jerica said with a nod.

Ky looked at her with a heavy sigh. "Neither of us are going to survive this, Jer. The gods are awful. Why will no one acknowledge that?"

Jerica furrowed her brow. This woman was changing her story radically now that Ky was here. What was her game? "...Yeah..."

"They're brutal, to be fair. At least Strithr. But not compared to the others."
