_{empty words from a pointless argument they’ve had one too many times, that’s all they were. Ky wants a version of him that doesn’t exist and no matter how many times he tries to tell him so, he won’t listen. won’t give up. “what I crave is to be free of you. to never have to see you again or deal with the punishment for my disobedience.” chains. it’s always those goddamn chains. he wouldn’t throw him back in the pits he found him in indefinitely yet he’d prefer that to this kind of enslavement. at least there he was left alone since no one wanted to get too close to a feral animal.}
