a quickie to get this started. no pressure wrt response time on this, and as always we can discuss oocly if this gets too far behind or you'd like to have belen ranked.
many of her arrangements were coming to a close. bridget had (presumably) been returned to brecheliant, and the speaker was quick to make her way to the pharoh's claim. she came for belen. anxious to return home, she threw her head to the sky and called for
@Ramesses.
the druid was far less receptive than she was during their previous visit. it was not that she was unkind — marina always had her manners about her — but the magnetic desire she had once held for the pharoh had dissipated with the emergence of

he stopped. she did not move to close the distance.
long,
she says with a laugh.
it always is. but i made a promise to you, pharoh. i trust all is well in your domain?
congratulations to you and yours,
she says. she was sure a kingdom of his size must take a painful amount of work to maintain. she handled relations with only a handful of packs and at times it felt sisyphean.
yes,
she informs him, they were generous, my listener took no issue with them. we would like to offer you a gift in return; one for another.
something lodges in her throat. in just a moment she has wrestled it back down to her belly where it belonged. an accomplished healer and caregiver. if there will be children in akashingo this year,
which cerulean greatly suspected, their paws will be put to good use here.
upon my return with belen,
she rejoined, pleased to see the pharoh's shimmering response. we will send them then.
a pause. when would you like to meet again?
the beginning of autumn seemed appropriate, after the children were old enough that their parents might not be so protective. but she wanted to hear ramesses' thoughts on the matter.
