Ky shrugged. “It’ll be late morning soon enough… and I’m told that won’t matter soon anyway.” She heaved a heavy sigh.

"It isn't eternal," he said with a frown. "It happens every year, just for a few months."

“May as well be eternal,” she grumbled. “And who knows what will happen, what with the gods waking up. Maybe they’ll make it permanent.”

"What would they have to gain from that?" he pointed out. "The gods of light and the sun wouldn't stand for it."

Ky glanced down at her bone. He had a point. “…Still. I’m going to end up here all alone in the dark for like four months. I’m going to go mad before it’s over.”

(I just looked at my syllabus for my Classics course a second time and my face melted off)

"Oh, yes." He nodded. "We're not going anywhere--unless somebody decides to take our bones along with them. Wouldn't recommend it--that's far too much effort."

(Uh oh… more essays?)

“I don’t see why they would,” Ky agreed. “I’m the only one who can talk to any of you so there’s no point in taking you with them when they go… maybe would try to take… other… people… so they couldn’t bother me. But the ground is too frozen for that.”

(Worse. Readings. At least three every week, no less than 12 pages each, and with a quiz every Thursday)

"You mean Michael?" He glanced back toward where Septimus was reading. "I can't say I see Gaius ever touching his skeleton."

(Grossssss)
(That’s comparable to what each of my science classes had. Thus the reading burn out haha it averages me about 10 minutes per page for science reading and it was just brutal)

“Well… I… kind of lied to him about Michael still being around,” Ky admitted. Did Gaius know that now? Would he decide to get back at her by sorting through her memories? Perhaps. Gods. That would be terrible. “But if he knew he was still around… I think he may try to get someone else to get him away from here.”

(That's an utter, utter nightmare)

(I thought Gaius knew now?)

"And you're sure of that?" he asked.
