"That's true." He nodded. "There was this really nice duck dish that I had once, with lemons and spices and herbs, and a side of potatoes. It was strictly rich people only but I was traveling with Gaius, so I got some. It was the best thing I'd ever tasted."

“That sounds lovely.” Ky nodded. “Rich people really do get so lavish with their food. It’s ridiculous sometimes… but delicious sometimes too.”

He nodded. "Especially in the East. That place is all about money and wealth."

“Oh, I know.” Ky rolled her eyes but about their conversation, not at Emery. “They’re all terrible.”

“It really is,” Ky said. “They’re even worse than roosters — strutting around puffing out their chests and flogging people and adding nothing of value whatsoever to the world. They’re all terrible. All of them. Pratik was the only Easterner I met before I came here that I liked. And I met a lot of them. A lot.”

He nodded in agreement. "I sorta wish I was born in Rim. It's not as bad. Loads of gold nonsense and filigree, but it'll always be better than what the Reputations were doing."

“Fair enough.” Ky nodded. “…I’ve always been partial to Austraka. I know a lot of that is idealism that stems from childhood naivety. But gods, I was happy.”

Ky nodded in agreement. “It is. Unless Makata was screwing things up for us, everyone was happy all the time. Just work and play and enjoy being a part of nature.”
