[This is a bit embarrassing, but Ky doesn't have to worry about his cheeks pinkening. He can bear it with dignity. At least the crown on his head matches his uniform, and the dignity is part of what the crown is helping him feel.]

People of Vatheon.

[His voice is a little lofty, a little with the tone of someone who expects people to be impressed with him.]

Maybe we should take these hats, this "curse" as a gift. It's allowed me to see something I've been missing out on.

[Ky brings something up to his mouth, what looks like a fancy chocolate desert. He pauses to study it further, holding it between him and the SFC.]

It smells so nice.

[Maybe the point is to eat it, but no, he's going to stare at it a while longer. Once he eats it, it'll be gone, and he's in no hurry for that.]

You think?

I suppose you don't read much, then.

[It's not said in a judging manner, simply a curious one.]

Nah, not really good at it.

I don't think it's so much something you're good at so much as it's something you enjoy or don't.

Well, I don't, really. Unless it's about like... cookin'.

You don't like stories and things?

Not really, no. Kinda too old for that stuff, I think. Dad used to read to me and Yukio when were little, though.

I don't think you can be too old to enjoy a work of literature.

[But he's hit by a sudden stab of doubt. Is this part of why Sol calls Ky a kid? Certainly Ky's never seen the older man read.]
