RE: beer in a man's cup - Sitamun - 11/23/2025
she can be skipped unless addressed! <3
as setemhotep spoke, sitamun looked toward mekh's downturned head and then ducked from the bower. returning a short time later, carrying moss soaked in fresh streamwater, she set the small green tufts down beside their guest. between physician and patient, there was no need for her words.
positioning herself nearby, sitamun smiled deep encouragement to mekh and turned her attention to helping setemhotep with whatever was needed. and more than that, her attention was directly upon the sesh from time to time, for he did not seem well, more as though it cost him more, as if some frenzy was holding just back.
whatever plagued the physician, sitamun hoped he would unburden himself to her once more.
mekh was laid low for now, but she knew that some days of rest and care would restore him completely, perhaps more than before. she hoped for it, and if he looked her way, the dazzle of her eyes was for him alone, plying just a touch of her talents to assure the newcomer that all was well.

Something felt strangely dream-like about the whole thing, and it wasn't until Setemhotep had begun thoroughly fussing over him that Mekh realized it was just as it had been when he was prepared for Pharoah Seti. Not that he was being thrust into anything like his former position, but he foggily remembered being taken in, fattened up, and suitably bathed before they would dare present him to their Pharoah.
Always lacking, he thought. Always needing adjusting, tweaking, smoothing down; requiring more to be acceptable. He had learned quickly how valuable it was to become socially adaptable, keeping his head down and ears cocked for every scrap of information that might carelessly fall within hearing. Mekh did not like the feeling of being insufficient.
Admittedly, right now he needed the help.
Hotep's deft inspection continued, charcoal nose only occasionally glancing at the edges of his fur as he roved the coywolf for any further ailments.
Only that which I could catch,he replied, then offered the first hint of a self-conscious smile.
There were times I considered the odd-smelling carcass, but vomiting up my stomach contents while also starving seemed to be a worse combination.
The sesh appeared to complete his assessment. Although the red moon cast its sickly glow upon the trio, Mekh found himself thoroughly distracted by the prospect of a fresh meal and the potential of a new home; it was not good to be a servant with no one to serve, he thought. Rarely, if ever, had he been truly as alone as this.
Sitamun was equally swift in her aid toward this ragged stranger, moving with practiced grace as she fetched back a clump of herbs for Hotep to administer as he saw fit. He did not miss the reassuring glint in her eyes, and pressed his ears back as he returned another tentative smile in gratitude.
May I ask how long you have resided in this place?

Skill - Doctor 3/5
He seemed to speak the truth. Worn down, in need of a few hearty meals, Mekh nonetheless was in fair bodily condition beneath recent strain. Hotep nodded,
You chose wisely. Good food here will quickly make up for what you paid in discretion.
Sitamun was prompt in her aid to sesh and the subtle offer of comfort to newcomer. Hotep could be kind, but the nature of her soothing was unfortunately beyond him to imitate. He was glad, then, that she thought to provide it.
Reside?Hotep shook his head,
Our home is Skyspear, to the South. But Ra burns the land fiercely, testing Pharaoh and Queen. So we have come North at their divine command, declaring the wonders of Satriya to neighboring lands. We camp here while negotiating trade and alliance with Jakten.
That things had not been going to plan, and they were made to linger here while agents of chaos closed in with the fog, Hotep would not relay to any outside Pharaoh's confidence.
