Lion Head Mesa I sip on you to wash down the shame

what the man said, and felt, and showed to them, made satsu look carefully upon pharaoh for a moment and away from the one-eyed man. he had lost his wife; she could relate to his hurt, and perhaps her weaker heart was to be the downfall of akashingo, for she heard the laughter of pharaoh and grew cold.

akashingo had been promised to the saints as their outpost. to use it against them might be foolish, but it also seemed a better choice than to sit and wait for nyra's forces.

we should let them in. her opinion opposed ramesses own and he would not take kindly to how openly she spoke, but satsu had to trust that she was truly equal to him, and that her opinion did matter.

we are small and without many warriors, but we anticipate that nyra will come to us again. if you bring your own warriors here, we will feed and care for you, and offer whatever we can to strengthen your people. satsu watched the one-eyed man carefully.

nyra will not know you lay in wait for her here. that surprise could change their fate.
