The king was mad.
Arsenio laughed again, louder than before. When the squint had faded from his eyes, the Greek man looked to each of the others like a young boy seeking approval. He wanted them to believe that they were honoring a pathetic low life, a scoundrel, with the chance to sit beside them and discuss such things as war tactics. Arsenio had the build of a fighter, that much was evident, but he was just a poor fool.
The Pharaoh wanted him to drink. The Greek wanted to decline and return to the lady’s chambers so that he might watch Tamar fuss about near Satsu. It seemed a great deal more enjoyable than playing the dullard for these men, the soldier aside.

Yes, of course, of course,Arsenio bobbed his head with a bubbling chuckle, a man tickled.
But only a little. I must return to guard the lady queen.This time his smile did not fade, or flicker, but he blinked a slow lizard’s blink at each of the three wolves before him and chuckled once more.
