Lion Head Mesa one-hundred & one

royal children welcomed, settled.

tavina had gone on to the battlefront, leaving senmut with safiya's healing. between himself and izaiah, the erpa-ha felt she would mend.

his worry for @Nazli and @Aiesha was great; it drove him to sleeplessness and a curdled belly. 

and the young ones, the children they had taken into their family; @Nokht, @Asenath, @Osiris, @Serket; 

he should be with them.

grimly the red prince roved the halls, too tense for prayers or painting. no patrols for @Machiavelli had returned with news, and now he was loathe to send messengers across the desert with no concept of what might befall them beyond his sight.

@Legend too, so long it had been since he had seen her either.

be with them, Amun, senmut begged into a cold wind before he set about deciding who he would sent to muat-riya.

She draws listlessly from her rooms to sit obediently beside the Erpa-ha.

No word had yet come from Muat-riya. Neith was terrified.

She fights the eerie prickling in her skin, the sheen of silver tears that gloss her eyes. Only upon return to her room would she weep.
