ah. sitamun fully released mekh now from her ebbing ire, appraising him with an empathy borne of their mutual servitude.
he wore pain in those goldcoin eyes.
putting out a paw toward mekh as if to guide, sitamun gave him a look of knowing melancholy.
she liked mekh already, liked his humility and his openness. it was why she sought to bring him into the perfumed arms of the palace now. some force had decided that he was to be placed here with and before them, and her -- she did not question.
and that it was pointless to ask.
we have this in common, then. i gave myself as a gift and you were once given as one. i am sitamun, and i serve the queen of satriya.
he wore pain in those goldcoin eyes.
but that is not where i am taking you now. we will go to Setemhotep first. he is our sesh and i must have you well before you are brought before the sight of pharaoh khaemwaset. you are no longer alone.

i am priestess to Nepthys. there is but one truth i have learned, and that is to accept we will never know the will of any god.Khonsu bled, and so it must be Shu. but she did not speak that.

we are at peace here. i think it will be true for you as well.now he would be any he wished to be, and that was the beauty of such a place as satriya. the sounds of their camp loomed ahead, and all bathed still in that eerie red light.
